Six Ripley business
burgled, hundreds
in cash stolen
Darryl Coote
Reporter
Hundreds of dollars in cash was stolen from
six businesses in Ripley sometime overnight
May 12-13, 2016.
The Forensic Unit was at the scene early Fri-
day morning photographing the shattered glass
and broken doors of the three Huron Street
addresses that were forcibly entered.
One store, Stockyards Western Apparel, was
also attempted to be entered from the rear of the
building while Wilma's Corner Shop had a sec-
tion of glass smashed from its Queen Street
entrance.
Debbie France of Sole Energy describe the
break and enter as a smash and grab.
"Basically it was a smash and grab and they
were just after money," she said sweeping clean
shards of glass from the lip of her doorway.
"They didn't damage anything else in the shop.
They just busted the window and went straight
to where the tills were and took money."
France said the intruders stole $150 from her
register. Her shop shares an entranceway with
All About hair, which was also burgled, but its
proprietor didn't not want to tell say how much
was stolen.
Orchids Hair Design, one door down from
Sole Energy, was robbed of about $500 and an
iPad, said Emily Gibson who co-owns the hair
salon with her sister.
She said there is nothing they can do as the
amount taken isn't enough to file it with the
insurance company.
While the intruder stole the money and the
tablet, they left behind a computer sitting on the
counter, which leads her to think whomever it
was was only after cash.
"It sucks," she said.
Anyone with information should call
Crimestoppers at 1 -800 -222 -TIPS.
