Looters bagging over $375K in purses from NYC shop caught on video
Thieves clutched handbags by the armful as they swiped more than $375,000 worth of Hermes, Fendi, Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga swag in Soho during looting early last week, new video released by the NYPD on Thursday shows.
The free-for-all at the Rebag store on West Broadway happened around 11:30 p.m. June 1 as looting at commercial establishments raged — with the Manhattan neighborhood known for high-end shopping hit particularly hard.
Video from the store that sells new and used designer handbags shows multiple masked men grabbing boxes and bags after breaking in through the front door.
