Newmarket store considers closure after two break-ins in two days

Lejose Fashion House in Newmarket was broken into twice in two days, NZ Herald reports. Thieves made off with luxury items including hangbags and clothing, and the owners say they have considered closing their business for good. “This is my livelihood,” said owner Christine Davis, who had opened the store in Mairangi Bay in 1991 and moved to Newmarket three years ago. “And this is about ready to cripple us… I’ve been in my store 31 years and I’ve never seen so much [crime].”
