Thieves gave themselves a hair cut after breaking into charity shop

Thieves broke into a charity shop in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, and made a mug of coffee before sitting at the manager’s desk and giving themselves a hair cut.



The British Heart Foundation shop manager Janet Kenworthy arrived at work to find a vandalised till and the office computer gone - but was more shocked when she went to her desk and found a pile of brown hair cuttings at the foot of her chair.

Her desk scissors were left covered in hair strands in the break-in, where the thieves took two jars of coffee and three tins of baked beans from the office kitchen but left the bread. Ms Kenworthy said: “Who breaks in and gives themselves a hair cut?



“It was a big pile of brown hair on the floor. So strange. It is senseless, but also unpleasant to think people have been in the shop and rifled through the drawers and made themselves a drink.” Thieves broke in by kicking down the front door at the shop in Market Place. The break-in happened some time between 5pm on Monday January 5 and early morning Tuesday 6. Police are appealing for witnesses.
