Nov, 11 2011 | Written by ATLien

While some of you ladies sit around pondering whether To WEAVE OR NOT TO WEAVE, many in the ATL have already made their choice.

It’s evident everywhere you go around this town that HAIR is “it” and apparently it’s also “IT” on the black market! So much so, that weave robberies have become rampant in and around Atlanta.

Weave is clearly a hot commodity in our city, and while the original group of weave bandits were subsequently caught before I could get my stash… a new female group of “gangsters”  has hit the scene running (literally) and are apparently more brazen than the dudes!

Just yesterday, this new female group of weave bandits grabbed all the hair they needed and jetted out the front door… all during STORE HOURS!!

Details below:

According to WSB-tv, authorities are now searching for a group of at least 6 women who stole hundreds of dollars of human hair in broad daylight.

The women, who appear in the surveillance video above, all browsed the hair section of the beauty supply store on Cascade Road in Atlanta yesterday (November 10, 2011) pretending to be customers.

As if on cue, they all made their selections and then ran outside to a waiting dark colored SUV.  Employees attempted to stop them but were unsuccessful.

One chick in particular, looks pretty young, and in the surveillance video, you can almost notice her giving the other women the sign to dash.

Have you seen this chick around town??

If so, tell her I need some 24in Brazilian contact the authorities ASAP!

  I can’t believe people would risk jail just to steal weave. Maybe because I’m not aware of the value of it. But this seem like a very senseless crime to me. Is the weave that expensive? To me you can always tell when someone is wearing weave..
