North Haven police are investigating a rash of break-ins targeting local salons.
Police say during the overnight hours Tuesday into Wednesday, the suspects broke into four salons and busted into the cash drawers. At one salon, the thieves nabbed $100. Nothing was taken from the other three locations, which didn’t have any money in the drawers.
Neighboring salons were surprised nothing more was taken.
“Curling irons, flat irons, blowdryers, scissors. Scissors can range anywhere from $200 anywhere to $3000,” said Maria Palma of Hair Dimensions Salon.
Customers told NBC Connecticut the overnight burglaries won’t stop them from coming to the businesses, located on Washington Avenue, Church Street and Quinnipiac Avenue. But those who work at the salons are considering making some changes.
“This area is a really nice area of North Haven, usually nothing bad happens here, but now, with this happening - and it happened to a couple of other places in the area - maybe we should up our security a little bit,” said Holly Mazur of Two Spa Girls Salon.
Police are reviewing security footage and looking for witnesses. Anyone with information should contact the Investigative Services Division at the North Haven Police Department at (203) 239-5321 or email crimetips@town.north-haven.ct.us.
