Criminals damage third business on Harrogate's Cold Bath Road
A salon has become the third business in quick succession to fall victim to criminals on Harrogate's Cold Bath Road.
Sara Pugh Hairdressing put four mini Christmas trees in plant boxes outside the shop and decorated them with lights to spread seasonal goodwill.
But one tree has been stolen, another uprooted and the lights on all four vandalised.
Charlie Woolley, a stylist at the salon, said her friend alerted her to the damage when she noticed it on her way to work early on Sunday morning. Ms Woolley said:
One tree was uprooted and another was stolen.
Fortunately the giant toy bear outside the shop, which is brought inside at night, was not harmed.
Last month Dangerfield & Keane, another salon just yards from Sara Pugh Hairdressing, had its Christmas lights vandalised for the first time in 14 years.
Days later two thieves smashed their way into James Barber Tobacconist on the other side of the road closer to town and stole cigars and whiskey.
