Lululemon robberies: Shoplifting crew steals more than $56,000 in luxury activewear from Manhattan, Brooklyn shops near L train, cops say | amNewYork
"Police are on the hunt for three young men who have spent the last month raiding Lululemon and other luxury activewear stores across Brooklyn and Manhattan in early evening heists, stealing a small fortune worth of merchandise. During the robbery spree, most of the stores were mere blocks from the L subway line, and the value of the stolen items steadily increased as the men appeared to grow bolder."
"According to police sources, the trio has struck at least eight times since early February, targeting Lululemon and Alo for luxury sportswear. In some cases, they hit the same location multiple times. Cops say the shoplifting binge began just before 6:30 p.m. on Feb. 7 at the Lululemon located near Union Square at 114 5th Ave."
"The group walked into the store and snatched clothing from a display case before making a run from it. The items were valued at $3,200. Authorities said they struck again at the same store nearly a week later, just after 6 p.m. on Feb. 12 grabbing items from a display case valued at $3,920."
Three young men have been conducting a coordinated robbery spree targeting luxury activewear stores, particularly Lululemon and Alo locations across Brooklyn and Manhattan. The crimes began on February 7 near Union Square and continued through at least eight separate incidents over the following weeks. The suspects consistently struck during early evening hours, typically between 6 and 7:15 p.m., targeting stores near the L subway line. Their method involved entering stores and grabbing clothing from display cases before fleeing. The value of stolen merchandise ranged from approximately $1,300 to $3,900 per incident, with the trio hitting some locations multiple times. As the spree continued, the suspects appeared to grow bolder in their approach.
