A devastated dad of two fears for the future of his business and family after thieves stole phones worth more than £1,000. Moasab Habib, who owns Mobiles Plus in High Road, Beeston, said he was left in shock and with a "huge financial loss" after the incident on February 22.
There was only one employee inside the store when a man looking "just like a regular customer" entered the shop just before 1pm. He eyed an iPhone 12 and 13, Mr Habib said. We usually have two members of staff in the store, but it was just my colleague this time - I was not here. So one man came in and asked to see those phones that are the most expensive ones we have got", he said.
While the employee was explaining the differences between the two phones to the customer, another man entered the store, the owner said. He added: "We always do that with customers, we try to explain them the differences between two phones and help them make an informed decision."
