VIDEO:::VIDEO CAPTURES THE MOMENT SHOPPERS AND CLERKS TRYING TO STOP BRAZEN THIEVES LOOTING SWANKY LOUIS VUITTON STORE IN NEW YORK WHILE MALL SECURITY LOOK ON AND DO NOTHING
Video emerged Friday of brazen thieves hitting a swanky Louis Vuitton store in New York – the second smash-and-grab at the Westchester Mall in less than a month as republicans blasted Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul’s revolving door no-bail system. In the video, the suspects are seen fleeing the store at the Westchester Mall in White Plains, as other people nearby attempted to stop them. But as the chaotic scene unfolds, an apparent mall security guard hangs back and watches, but does nothing. This is the second time in recent weeks that thefts at high-end stores have been carried out at the Westchester Mall in White Plains, New York, with the other being grand larceny at the Burberry store. During the Louis Vuitton store theft, which White Plains police say happened last month, one man is seen running from the store, stolen purses in hand. The other suspect was almost stopped by other people in the store, but managed to escape with stolen purses, right past the security guard. The White Plains police department said it is aware of both incidents and investigating, according to a statement posted to Facebook on Saturday.
