A MAN has been arrested for allegedly destroying the shopfront at a Johnstone beauty salon with a crowbar.

The alarm was raised after a member of the public saw windows at Mystique, in the town’s High Street, being smashed at around 10.20pm on Tuesday.

A 52-year-old man was later traced by officers and charged with vandalism.

Police said the shopfront was extensively damaged and has now been boarded up.

A report has been sent to the Procurator Fiscal.
