WILLIAMSBURG — This thief really polished off the inventory.
Somebody took about 1,200 bottles of nail polish from Williamsburg salon Nail It at 209 Bedford Ave., making it the second local salon in the last month to have hundreds of dollars worth of nail polish disappear overnight.
On March 20 an employee arrived at Nail It sometime after noon to find 1,200 bottles of nail polish — worth about $7,500 — gone, police said.
The burglar had used the basement door to get into the building, police said.
A similar incident occurred Feb. 22 when 400 bottles of relatively new gel nail polish were taken from Nails and Spa 4U at 220 Leonard St., according to police and employees.
An employee at Nail It confirmed that nail polish had been stolen but would not comment further.
Police are investigating the incident.
