Weave thieves smash East Atlanta store

Police are investigating a hair weave smash-and-grab robbery early Tuesday at a beauty supply store in east Atlanta. Atlanta Police Capt. Tim Peek said bandits backed a pick-up truck through the front window of the Virgin & Remy Hair Extension store at 572 Edgewood Ave. JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM

Officers arrived to find the glass windows and doors, as well as a metal gate, smashed. “The only thing that appears to have been taken was hair,” Peek said. Owner Denis McKinley said his store was targeted because “hair is big business.” JOHN SPINK/JSPINK@AJC.COM
