Greater Manchester pet shop ransacked by burglars


Thieves stole charity cash, a Christmas raffle prize and more than 250 kilograms of dog food when they broke into a Greater Manchester pet business.

Owner Andi Jackson was shocked when she opened up her business to find the premises in High Crompton ransacked.

"Everything had been trashed,” said Andi. “The drawers were open and spread across the floor, there was mess everywhere, it was awful."

Thieves gained entry to the property after breaking through a panel to make a small gap to enter the business and take the items, including 17 bags of dog food, weighing 15kg each, and the festive raffle prize –a box of dog treats, toys, and essentials.

Andi, who has run K9 Grooming Solutions for six years, expanded the business a month ago to offer pet supplies.

She said: "The thieves took my new till and the cash I'd collected for a raffle in aid of local animal charities. They even took the raffle prize.

"I don't know what to do now as I'd already collected money and we were due to announce a winner on Christmas Eve.

"It's just so annoying, especially to do it so close to Christmas when everyone is stocking up.

"I know it could have been worse as they didn't take most of my equipment. But I won't let it affect the business or let it get me down."
