NEW YORK — Two men allegedly pulled off a major heist at a high-end fashion store in Manhattan, stealing nearly a quarter of a million dollars worth of luxury items in a robbery that lasted just minutes.
The pair of suspects made their way through a basement store and entered the store Rebag on West Broadway in SoHo around 11 p.m. on February 12, according to investigators. Once inside, they broke several display windows and collected the expensive handbags and watches.
In total, police said the duo took property worth about $225,000.
Surveillance video later captured the two with their faces uncovered, as one of them rolled a cart believed to be filled with stolen loot. The officer said they were later seen near Fresh Pond Road and 60th Road in Queens.
Store management did not comment on the theft when our sister chain NBC New York He contacted her.
The brazen robbery occurred just a week before another daring robbery, which took place in the middle of the day at a Gucci store in the Meatpacking District, according to police. That incident, in which store workers and shoppers were held at gunpoint, was also caught on camera.
The thieves in the Gucci heist, a man and a woman, made off with $50,000 in merchandise, police said.
No arrests have yet been made in any of the cases.
According to the NYPD, there have been 30 other robberies in the area so far in 2024. That’s up from 25 cases during the same period in 2023.
