A Plymouth salon owner has spoken of their devastation after a destructive break-in left their business in ruins and stripped of valuable professional equipment. The burglary, which took place in the early hours, saw intruders smash the shop's glass door to gain access before ransacking the interior.

Devon and Cornwall Police are investigating the incident, which has left the local business community on high alert. The owner discovered the break-in upon arriving at the premises to find shattered glass strewn across the entryway and vital styling and treatment equipment missing.
