Wolverhampton’s high street businesses have been put on alert after around 120 designer frames were stolen from a local practice last weekend.
The second significant burglary to take place on the Penn Road this year amounted to a loss of products worth £5,000.
Optician was told that Penn Eyecare, based on the Penn Road had its front door hinges smashed open with a building block at around 4am last Saturday morning.
Store manager Josh Banks said: ‘They took the majority of the Armani and the Ray Bans frames. The door had been damaged and glasses were all over the floor. It couldn’t have been more than a five-minute job. They just took what they could and left.’
In January, a similar robbery took place at Penn Road Butchers at 3am. Thieves stole donated money in the charity boxes.
Anyone with information is advised to contact West Midlands police on 101.
