Thieves are attacking women with long hair in Venezuela.
Come to think of it, Na Naija weave sellers dey send them?lol, I am joking oooooooooo.
According to this funny report, having a long hair can make you a target for criminals in the Venezuelan coastal city of Maracaibo.
These criminals are targeting young women who have long hair with scissors, and before you know what’s happening, your long hair is gone.
A Maracaibo resident, Egmari Villarreal (Pictured below) explains:
“ You have to see it to believe it, we are not going to be able to have long hair anymore. As a woman, this is something traumatic. It’s happening downtown, at the beach or at the mall, where you find a lot of young women. The thieves grab them by the hair, pull out some scissors and cut the hair. Then they sell it at beauty or hair saloons”.
Another resident of Mariana Rodriquez told Global vision that the she was walking through a popular mall when she saw two women coming towards her.
“ I thought they were going to steal my cell phone, because i had it my hand at the time . But they took out scissors”, she said. “They did not give me a chance to think of to run or anything. And when I looked, I no longer had any hair. More than 8 inches gone”.
Maracaibo Mayor, Eveling de Rosales told reporters that police are stepping up security to stop the attackers.
