The owner of a salon in a Nottinghamshire town says she feels “vulnerable and targeted” after her windows were smashed by thugs for the second time in less than a month. Two men were filmed using hammers to shatter four panes of glass at the Lash Lounge in Queens Road, Beeston on Tuesday (December 3) evening. ...READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE ...READ THE FULL STORY FROM SOURCE

The incident comes just days after the windows were replaced after being smashed with bricks on November 13. Nottinghamshire Police said they believed the crimes were linked and is doing “everything possible” to find the perpetrators.|GOD WILL JUDGE THEM: 18+ SEE. VIRAL VIDEO. HOW BOKO. HARAM. $L4UGHTERED.

“I feel vulnerable, I feel really targeted. We don’t know who’s coming next, we’re locking ourselves in,” said salon owner Sarah Clay.

The 42-year-old was on the way back from the cinema when she found out about the damage. “I couldn’t speak, I physically couldn’t get any words out, I was in shock to see that this is a targeted attack,” she said.

“I don’t know why. I have no idea why, I haven’t upset anybody as far as I’m aware.

“I’ve done nothing wrong, I’m all for the community. I put so much out there and I try to help people.”

CCTV footage of the incident shows two men, one of whom is masked, walk up to the salon at around 5.30pm. Both appear to use hammers to smash the panes before walking back up the street.

Ms Clay said the vandalism had left her business in “serious trouble”, adding: “We’ve got to try and save some money, we can’t have the windows fixed until we get shutters. We can’t have it happen again.”

She estimates it will cost £5,000 to install shutters and has set up a GoFundMe, which you can find here. “GoFundMe makes me cringe. I can’t stand them, but if I don’t do it, I’ve got nine girls who won’t have a job.

“This is our busiest time of year, they have timed it impeccably. We’re in serious trouble, I’ve got to basically beg and borrow off people.

“I’m a single mum who’s poured everything into my business to do better for me and my kids. It’s awful, I’m being targeted by two absolute animals, whoever they are.”

A spokesperson for Nottinghamshire Police said: “Officers were at the scene within minutes and were informed that the unknown offenders had headed towards the town centre. It is believed the offenders were in possession of an implement, possibly a hammer. Police carried out an extensive area search for the offenders but they were not located.

Inspector Usha, of the Broxtowe neighbourhood policing team, added: “These incidents have caused a great deal of distress to the salon owner and we are doing everything we can to find those responsible. We are in the process of analysing available CCTV footage to establish exactly what happened and who could have been responsible.

“At this stage, we’re working on the basis that these incidents could be linked and police will be patrolling the area this evening to speak with people and to provide reassurance. Despite these incidents happening at night, they took place in a busy part of the town centre, so there is a chance at least one of these incidents was witnessed by someone.|GOD WILL JUDGE THEM: 18+ SEE.

“If this was you and you saw what happened, or you have any information that could assist our investigation, we’d ask that you get in touch. Likewise, we want to hear from anyone who has any CCTV, dash-cam or other footage that could be of use to the investigation.”.…Read -T.he.Full_Article.Here.
