£58 from the till. The raid happened just after midnight today (Tuesday) at Milano Barbers on Gorton Road in Reddish. Owner Ari Hamakaren found out about the raid when regulars noticed the


broken front window and called him. When he arrived, he discovered the burglars had ransacked the inside of the shop and stole coins worth £58 from the till. Today the shop remained open for


business and the broken window has been boarded up. Article continues below A police investigation into the attack is 'ongoing'. Ari told the Manchester Evening News: "They


threw a brick through the window. They damaged the cabin around the till and took the money." "This morning customers called me and told me. We've been here a long time, ten


years, my and my partner. We've opened already and I'm in the middle of a haircut," said Ari during a phone call. Asked how he felt, he said: "I'm not happy about it
