Four individuals, three men and one woman, carried out a brazen robbery at a luxury store in a shopping center in New York state, making off with more than a dozen expensive handbags. The incident occurred at a Gucci store in Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, where the suspected group forcibly entered and immediately began smashing display cases near the entrance. They took bags worth approximately $30,000 and quickly removed security sensors before fleeing.
Store employees were left in shock as the robbery unfolded, while some customers attempted to intervene without success. Security footage shows the moments when bags were scattered on the floor and the robbers hastily gathered them before escaping.
According to authorities, the suspects fled in a rented white SUV and were briefly pursued by police in the Newark area, but the chase was called off for safety reasons. They then abandoned the vehicle and escaped on foot.
Police in New York City and surrounding states are searching for the group, who are suspected of being involved in other robberies in the region. Notably, the female suspect has multiple outstanding arrest warrants for previous thefts. All four individuals remain at large, while investigations are ongoing across several states simultaneously.
