One million shekels of damage at Jewish wig store after vigilante break in
May 30, 2024 15:56Jerusalem police are looking for the suspect in a wig shop attack who destroyed a large supply of wigs for Jewish women.
The Israeli branch of American wig shop, Dini Wigs, was trashed in the attack, with wigs cut up, graffitied, and windows smashed. The estimated damage is over one million shekels (more than £210,000).
In the early hours last Friday morning, an Orthodox Jewish man can be seen on the shop’s CCTV cameras pulling out a hammer and smashing the glass door of the luxury wig shop.
The suspect, whose face is exposed in the footage, arrived with a headlamp, hammer, and spray paint.
