Owner left devastated after thieves smash way into her new store - just a week after she moved in

Supplies have been stolen from an beauty business's brand new store.

ASK Aesthetics, which is beauty training academy and also sells supplies, has just moved into a new unit on the Mayfair Industrial Estate, off Liverpool Road, in Irlam.

Only a week after taking over the building, which used to be a golf store, owner Samantha Knowles-Ward was "devastated" to hear that yobs had smashed the glass on the front door and stolen some stock.

She said: "We've only just opened up after outgrowing our other unit just down the road.

"We're a medical aesthetics company and we do things like Botox fillers but we train people as well, like a college. It's also a shop for beauty supplies.

"Next door told us we'd had a break in and I was devastated. They must've been trying for a while because they damaged the back door as well.

"With only just moving in, a lot of the rooms were empty thankfully."

Mrs Knowles-Ward told Manchester Evening News that electrical facial scrubbers and gold lip vibrating tool bars were stolen in the incident on November 17.

"It was a crazy day for me because I've just written a book and it was released that day, so my head was all over the place," she added.

"I'm quite grateful that they haven't actually taken that much.

"We've increased our security and we won't be leaving stock there now."

Manchester Evening News contacted Greater Manchester Police for comment.
