The following article is based on a Boston Police report.


One suspect who came in with a group allegedly stole a Sassy Silky Straight wig from Sally Beauty Supply in West Roxbury.

On Friday, July 26 around 4:27 p.m., several females came into Sally Beauty Supply at 1530 VFW Parkway, and were in the store for about 20 minutes, according to a Boston Police report. An employee asked the group if they needed assistance, which they declined, and minutes later the suspect was allegedly seen removing a Sassy hair straightener valued at $79.99.

The same individual then allegedly removed the hair from the package and shoved it into her purse, according to a Boston Police report. The suspect was confronted by  the employee, but the suspect walked right past the employee, got into a vehicle, which drove on the VFW Parkway outbound. The license plate of the vehicle was provided to police.

The employee said the suspect had shopped in the store before that day.
