The robbery occurred just after 3.30 a.m. on Monday, with the bandits breaking into Sassy Sistas Boutique in Altamonte Springs, Florida, before grabbing the expensive wigs, which were placed atop display mannequins’ heads. They left with about 34 wigs worth a total of $13,000, the New York Post notes.
According to local station WKMG-TV, the trio also took off with the Sassy Sistas cash register, which was later discovered abandoned at a nearby apartment complex. Luckily, no cash was missing from the till, but it’s unclear whether the thieves were just simply unable to open it. Distraught Sassy Sistas’ owner, Jasmine Jackson told the outlet, “For us, $13,000 is a lot, that’s a pretty big deal. It hurt us financially, mentally, you know our store is our livelihood. This is how we take care of our families,” she explained.
co-owner, Von Jackson, added: “The time and the work we put into each wig. We spend long days and nights in here getting these wigs ready for these ladies. So, to have someone come in here and do something like that it’s very heartbreaking and devastating.”
So far, the suspects have not been caught.
