Shots fired during one of two break-ins in Red Deer

Police are investigating after two break-ins at a salon and a beauty supply business in Red Deer, including one where shots were fired. 

Red Deer RCMP say the first occurred just before 5 a.m. on Wednesday in the Kentwood neighbourhood at ClassiCuts Oasis.

There, RCMP say shots were fired to gain access through a window and steal approximately $1000 worth of hair products and colours. A shell casing was retrieved from the scene.

Then, shortly before 6 a.m. on Thursday (Aug. 23), RCMP responded to a break-in at International Beauty Services, a beauty supply business at 45 Street and 55 Avenue. In this instance, a truck was allegedly backed through the glass window to gain access to the salon, causing significant damage. Thieves stole a large number of hair extensions and unknown quantities of professional hair products, Mounties say.
