It was a business burglary with a twist: in fact lots of them, and the culprit did not go to great lengths to infiltrate a west side store early this morning.MPD officers responded to an alarm coming from the African Market, 805 S. Gammon Rd., around 5:00 a.m. after a thief used a large rock to break out a glass door. Once inside, the criminal headed straight to a wall containing numerous brands and types of hair extensions. A large quantity is now missing.A quick online search shows similar crimes have taken place in various areas of the country and that an underground market for hair extensions has been quite vibrant.
