Police have now released CCTV footage showing two men they wish to speak to as part of their investigation into the burglaries.
Speaking after the burglary Katie McLaren, who owns the barbers, said she 'felt physically sick' when she was told by the owner of Tangled Hair Salon about the crime.

But the 'negative' of the incident has been 'massively outweighed' by outpouring of support that has come from the community.
She said: 'The community has been great.
'One lady brought me cakes, and another lady brought me flowers.
'People I have not even met before have come in to check on me.
'It's just amazing.'
