The attack on the business happened sometime between 1pm on Saturday, March 2 and 7.30am on Monday, March 4.

Kim said: "We can't believe they have done this. It's so heartless because we even had a notice on the door to say mum had died."

A police spokeswoman said that their enquiries were still continuing.

Anyone with information should call police on 101 with incident number 40 of March 4.
