The break-in happened just before 5 a.m. at the CVS on Peachtree Street at 6th Street. The intruders tossed a brick through the front glass door.
Store employees and police at the scene told the AJC that the thieves apparently took hair weaves and cigarettes. A portion of the store appeared to have been ransacked.
Numerous metro Atlanta beauty supply stores have been hit in recent months by thieves stealing expensive hair extensions, sometimes making off with tens of thousands of dollars in weaves.
