'I was days away from opening my café - my dreams were crushed by thieves watching me'

When Naomi Penrose gave birth to her daughter at the age of 18, she thought her life was over. The teenager had hoped to open her own café one day but thought it was no longer possible.

Six years later, that dream was about to become a reality – until cruel thieves stole it from her. Naomi was just days away from opening her new bakery when she had thousands of pounds worth of equipment stolen from her car.

The mum-of-two has since been forced to delay the opening of her Urmston eatery – Kara's Cakes and Café – until she can afford to replace the stolen items. The 24-year-old says the incident has left her devastated and fears the thieves had been watching her every move.
