Forget robbing the bank! Atlanta thieves have figured out that Weave is more valuable than gold around these here parts.
You’ve got to be dayum near blind to NOT see the value of QUALITY human hair extensions.
Don’t blame Beyonce, cause it’s NOT just a black thing.
Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian all do it too… hell even Michael Jackson (R.I.P.) knew the importance of a quality hair weave/wig.
Street hustlers have apparently discovered that there’s huge money to be made from selling hair to a “weave queen” (of which I am one) and they’ve begun to target beauty supply stores.
Details + video below:
Burglars drove a Jeep Grand Cherokee through the front doors (which included an iron security gate) of Angie’s Beauty Supply in West End and headed straight towards the rear of the store to steal all their high-end “Indi Remi? hair weave.
Leaving a bare “wall of weave” and tons of structural damage, thieves got away with an estimated $30,000 worth of weave.
Just last week, three thieves smashed their way into another store on the southside, Beauty Masters II on Camp Creek Parkway.
Over the past few months there have been at least 4 other similar robberies….
On June 18, thieves also broke into another beauty supply store near Greenbriar Parkway.
In that break-in, four burglars who were in a black Chevrolet Suburban smashed out two front entry doors with a rock, then went straight to the display of Remi hair extensions on the wall behind the front counter.
Store manager Lucien Poko estimated the loss at $30,000.
Just weeks before that heist, burglars made off with an estimated $10,000 in hair extensions from the Beauty Emporium store on Riverdale Road in Clayton County.

Authorities are asking that people avoid making purchases of hair from strangers on the street. Who would do such a thing anyway?
