A campaign has been launched to help raise money to support an 89-year-old barber whose shop was looted during the riots in Tottenham.
Aaron Biber, a member of Waltham Forest Hebrew Congregation, lost his wife last year. Born in Cable Street, he built up his businesses in Tottenham High Street over several decades and is a popular figure in the local community.
He arrived at his shop on Sunday morning to find the place smashed up, with windows broken and hairdryers looted. Even his kettle had been stolen.
"They're meshuggenahs," he said. "It's mindless."
