Shop window damaged in drunken accident

A Umina boutique retailer suffered extensive shopfront damage after an apparent drunken accident.

Molly's Clothesline had its storefront window shattered after an intoxicated passer-by apparently fell onto it.

Business owner Ms Claire Harris said the window damage, which occurred on December 9, did not impact too heavily on sales over the Christmas retail period.

"Nothing was stolen and there was quite a bit of blood so I hope the guy's okay," Ms Harris said.

Ms Harris began Molly's Clothesline after starting a family and growing tired of the boutique retail experience.

"I used a few home boutique style shops and one day I was given really terrible service.

"I had driven an hour to spend $250 at her house and I thought I could do this and this is where it all started," Ms Harris said.
