A long-standing Harrogate business has had its Christmas lights vandalised for the first time in 14 years.

The display at Dangerfield & Keane hairdressers has become an annual highlight for families walking along Cold Bath Road.

It went up on Monday — and on Wednesday night was damaged.

A video of a man, appearing to rip the lights off the shopfront, has been shared many times on the shop's Facebook page.

Dangerfield and Keane released CCTV footage of a person pulling on their lights.

Gerri Dangerfield-Keane, who owns the business, said:

"I'm just dismayed - why would anyone do that? It's senseless.
"This is the 14th year of doing the same thing and it's never been touched or vandalised before."


Mr Dangerfield-Keane said the electric circuit had been destroyed but he was determined to get it fixed and restore the display to full power.

He has also offered to give a free set of Christmas lights to the perpetrator:

"Whoever did it must be so bereft of Christmas lights we will give them a free set."
