HAIR CRIME AND JUSTICE
IF YOU CAN'T GROW IT
STEAL IT?
Four women were charged with allegedly stealing about $12,000 worth of hair from a SW Houston store.
Store owner of Mr. Indian Hair, Kenlin Farooq said the four women grabbed dozens of hangers on the display. "Each young lady grabbed a whole lock of hair and just that quick 67 of hair were gone"'. Farooq said.
One of the suspects asked for a different kind of hair so the employee had to go to the back of the store. While she was in the back that is when the women began loading their hands with hangers of hair.
Like any other store in the hood that people truly love, Farooq had information coming back to him about his looted hair. People were coming to him saying that the girls were selling the hair for a third of the price un the street. The girls were also selling the hair on Instagram.
The girls also posted pictures on Instagram with the hair on their head and was selling the hair under the original company name and gave a contact number to follow up on the purchase. How stupid is that?
Investigators stated that this is not the girls first time engaging in organized retail theft. The same getaway vehicle was identified in several other thefts. One of the girls is out on $25,000 bail and two have not been found yet.
