The raiders quickly deposit the goods into the boot of their car before driving off.
No arrests have yet been made and police enquiries continue.
A witness, who had been reading a book at the time of the incident, grabbed their phone to start filming after hearing a bang as the thugs smashed through the beauty shop’s glass window.
It took just 90 seconds for the robbers to enter and exit the store and drive away, the witness estimated.
The witness said: ‘There’s no camera for this roundabout. They must have known about it – they took off and went for the main road.
‘I was the one witness. There was a loud bang. They used sledge hammers to get through; they smashed the front, it was loud.
‘It’s a very quiet area. They seemed agitated, shouting to each other.
‘It looked like they knew exactly how to go about it. They knew where to go.
‘A lot of the stock is in the front room – if you know where you are looking you will find most of the stock.
