IS IT the Lynx effect? Thieves smashed the doors of a Woodley town centre store just before Christmas and stole a quantity of men’s fragrances.
Thames Valley Police are appealing for witnesses to come forward.
The incident took place in the early hours of Friday, December 23, to the branch of Superdrug in the Crockhamwell Road shopping precinct.
The main doors to the store, which is close to the Centre Stage area of the pedestrianised precinct, were smashed in.
They have since been covered over and protected by police tape, and a security guard is present.
Customers are being asked to use a rear entrance to access the store while the investigation continues.
A spokesperson said: “Officers are investigating a burglary at a chemist on Crockhamwell Road, Woodley, which is believed to have happened in the early hours of Friday, December 23.
“The offenders had gained access causing significant damage to the door, and took a quantity of men’s fragrances from the shop.
“We would ask anyone with witness information to please provide it through our website or call Thames Valley Police on 101, quoting reference 43220573907.”
