Timaru clothing store doesn't exist despite advertising sale

'Timaru Boutique' advertised a closing down sale on Facebook recently - saying that after 10 beautiful years it's closing its doors. But Timaru Boutique doesn't really exist. It has a Facebook page, and a legitimate looking website with dresses, shoes and tops all discounted for it's closing down sale. But there's no such store in Timaru, let alone one that's been open for a decade. When a woman from Ashburton turned up to Tim Black's boutique, Black & Co, desperate to try on an item she'd seen online, he smelled a rat. Black spoke to Lisa Owen.
