On March 8, the owner of Highgate Greens and Blooms, Lennie Armstrong, faced significant disruption due to a burglary where only £7 in coins was stolen. The crime led to a day spent with forensic investigators instead of serving customers. Armstrong expressed disappointment over the targeting of small businesses and questioned the thief's choices, suggesting that more productive means of making money were available. The burglary disrupted his plans for a busy weekend following recent enhancements he made to the store.
Somebody broke the side window, realised they couldn't get in and smashed the door. He must have been a small person to get his weight through that panel.
It was disappointing and inconvenient. I'm disappointed that someone wants to target a small business and it was inconvenient in the sense that I couldn't do anything.
Who burgles a greengrocer? They took 7 in coins. I hope he'll be banged to rights.
If he took that much effort to get up at that time of the morning to smash some glass, what could he do to make some proper money somewhere else - maybe start working the market?
