More than $45,000 worth of medical wigs, hair extensions stolen from south Cambie salon

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — Two male suspects are being sought after more than $45,000 worth of wigs and hair extensions used for medical purposes were stolen last week from a Vancouver salon.

The suspects broke into JO Hair Studio, on Cambie Street near City Centre Mall, and stole multiple wigs, hair toppers, and hair extensions last Wednesday, according to Vancouver police.

“Investigators believe the thieves targeted this particular store to specifically steal the wigs and hair extensions,” Const. Tania Visintin says in a release.

“These wigs are not only cosmetic, but can be for those who, for medical reasons, can’t grow hair. For that reason alone, a crime like this is very distressing.”

One suspect is described as having a slim build and was wearing a dark hoody, dark pants, and black Nike shoes.

The other suspect is described as having a medium build. He was wearing a light-coloured hoody, dark-coloured pants and shoes, and two-toned gloves.

Store surveillance video shows the men leaving in a white, older model van.

Anyone with information is asked to call the VPD Property Crime Unit at 604-717-2773 or, to remain anonymous, CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
