THIEVES ransacked an Asian fashion store stealing thousands of pounds of dresses.

A video shows thieves entering the Hoor Al-Ayn By Yasmin fashion boutique, on Limbrick, Blackburn, on Wednesday morning at around 4am.

The family owned business only opened in March and had prepared bespoke outfits for the upcoming Eid festival.

Co-owner Altaf Taju said: "My wife Yasmin is very upset. We are only a small shop and opened a few months ago.

"We make bespoke outfits for weddings and special occasions.

“They have cleared the majoríty of the shop out and that includes the dresses we had made for customers for Eid.

"We don’t know what we can tell our customers with Eid only nine days away.”

Mr Taju said more than 50 dresses were taken as well sample fabrics and valuables. He said the two men broke through the back door.

Mr Taju said: "The outfits we make are made to order and are unlike those found in other stores."

The family have released images of some of the outfits that were taken in the hope that if anyone who is offered them will contact the police.
