Gillingham barbers and coffee shop targeted by burglars

A BARBERS and a coffee shop in Gillingham were targeted by burglars.

Police have appealed for information after the raids, which were reported between 6.35am and 8.30am on Sunday, October 23.

The first incident, reported at 6.35am, was at the Diamond Scissor Barber Shop, in High Street.

Two men forced their way into the store, but it is not clear whether anything was taken.

The second incident, at The Filling Station in Station Road, was reported to police at 8.30am on the same day.

Again, entry had been forced to the premisses at some point overnight and a till and drinks were stolen.

Officers investigating the burglaries have released CCTV images of the suspects and urged anyone with information to come forward.

Police Constable Dominic Upshall, of Dorset Police, said: “Following initial enquiries, I am now in a position to release CCTV images of the suspects.

“I am aware that the images are not of great quality, but I am hoping that they jog somebody’s memory of that night.

“Also, there is a distinct number 3 on the arm of the top one of the men is wearing, which might help identify who this person is.

“In addition, I am hoping that somebody might have witnessed suspicious activity during the relevant times at either location and can assist my enquiries.

“If anyone was driving in the areas and has dashcam fitted, please check for anything that may help us find out who is responsible for these incidents.”
