THE owner of a city centre florists has spoken of her upset after her shop was attacked and burgled — just three months after she moved to the premises.
Vandals kicked in the door of Fleurs in Mansel Street some time in the early hours of Saturday and stole a number of items, including cash, a laptop and some jewellery.valentines day flowers men
The business, which is owned by Mumbles resident Barbara Pillery, only moved from its previous premises in Castle Street in October, last year.
Ms Pillery, 56, said: "We have only been here a couple of months as we used to be in Castle Street and it has been really quiet here.
Upset
"We are obviously upset, they have bashed the door in and kicked it off its frame.
"There are no security cameras around here and the police said they were quite amazed by that.
"We were doing flowers for a wedding on Saturday, when we came in there was wedding flowers everywhere and mess everywhere too.
"Some money from the till, a laptop and some jewellery has all gone. The door must have been open all night as well, so anybody could have come in." Ms Pillery, who has been a florist for "years and years" added: "It is just so upsetting, you struggle enough as it is, it is never the same when you known someone has been in here.
"We found out when we came in to open up on Saturday morning, you cannot do anything about it."
A spokesman for South Wales Police confirmed the incident.
She added: "The incident was reported to us on Saturday at 8.56am and it happened at some time between 6pm on Friday and 8.56am in the morning.
"It is still being investigated." valentines day flowers men
