CCTV captures pair ram raiding hair salon before stealing CURLERS AND HAIR STRAIGHTENERS

Ram raiders were caught on CCTV ploughing into a hair salon on a moped before stealing thousands of pounds worth of designer curlers and hair straighteners.

Footage inside the shop showed two people repeatedly ramming the shopfront causing huge damage to the glass doors and stealing at least £3,000 worth of stock - mostly GHD products.

The ram-raiding burglary took place at the Mark Mardell Hair Salon in Dartford, Kent, at about 5pm on New Year's Day.

The men were caught ramming into the shop three times before finally breaking through on the salon's CCTV and the registration of their Honda, which had L plates, was reported to the police.

The owner of the salon Mark Mardell said he is still "bursting into floods of tears".

He said: "It's been hard enough with the coronavirus pandemic but now this? I'm worried this will not put off my elderly client coming near the shop if they don't think it's safe.

"I'm a bit concerned about the knock-on effect."
