This smash-and-grab has Florida locals wigging out.
Three masked men have been caught on camera storming Sassy Sistas Boutique in Altamonte Springs, Florida, taking off with 34 wigs worth a total of $13,000.
The hair-raising robbery occurred just after 3.30 a.m. on Monday, with the bandits breaking into the boutique before grabbing the expensive wigs, which were placed atop display mannequins’ heads.
Footage shows the men piling the wigs into their arms and running out of the store — only to return for more.
The trio also took off with the Sassy Sistas cash register, which was later discovered abandoned at a nearby apartment complex, according to local station WKMG-TV.
No cash was missing from the till, but it’s unclear whether the thieves were simply unable to open it.
It’s possible, however, that the hair-loving crims — who have not yet been detained — were only interested in stealing the wigs, and took to the cash register to throw investigators off the scent.
Sassy Sistas’ owner, Jasmine Jackson, has been left distraught by the burglary. She shared shocking photos of mannequin heads strewn across the floor in the wake of the robbery.
“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 told WKMG-TV.
Sassy Sistas 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.”
The robbery isn’t the first of its kind to hit headlines. Back in 2018, three women attempted to steal wigs from a salon in Queens, resulting in an all-out brawl.
