The extraordinary lengths an adult shop in the Gay Village has to take to try and stay safe

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

An adult store in Manchester's Gay Village has had to introduce around-the-clock security and replace windows with STEEL panels after repeated attacks from masked thugs on a motorbike.

Clonezone, on Sackville Street, has fallen victim to four separate attacks between March and May of this year. Horrifying CCTV footage captured the moments the store fronts' windows and doors were deliberately smashed up before the culprits speed away from the scene.

On each occasion, bricks or crowbars were used to smash through windows, causing extensive damage. In one incident, an empty police car was parked just across the street.
