She said: “A massive thank you to you all for your kind words of support, offers of computer equipment, help to clean up, securing the shop...you guys are absolutely amazing.
“The scene of crime officer is really confident that the DNA left will allow them to identity him quickly and get him locked up so he can’t do this to anyone else.
