Break and enter in Nanaimo hair salon

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 05 May, 2023 10:10 AM

Mounties in Nanaimo are asking for the public's help in identifying two people accused of breaking into a local hair salon.

They say police responded to a glass break alarm at Cosmo Prof on April 25th and found its door had been "smashed out."

Police say the salon's owner later reported that high-end hair clippers and shears were stolen, and provided surveillance photos of the two masked suspects to police.

The R-C-M-P say they are hopeful the suspects may be identified from the clothing they were wearing in the photographs, noting that they believe at least one of the suspects is a woman.
