A barber arrived at his business yesterday to find smashed windows, graffiti, and an apology note.

Herts Police have asked anyone with information to come forward after Razors Barbershop in Whippendell Road was vandalised between 8pm on Tuesday and 9.15am yesterday (January 31).

The front shop window, to the right of the door, was smashed and graffiti was sprayed across the windows in pink paint.

An 'X' was sprayed on the wall and windows and the word ‘Jin’ was left in paint on shutters of the business next-door.

A threatening note posted through the door said: “Mr Khan, if you’re making money on my turf. I better be making money too.” It added: “you have Jin inside of you, ask Isa for help.”

In a second note the vandal apologised for the graffiti, asked for forgiveness, and offered to clear up it up, claiming that it was prompted by a mental health crisis.

Razor’s Barbershop manager Azam Khan said that the damage has only cracked the window and business can continue despite it.
