Gang Of Shoplifters Hit 3 Greenwich Avenue Stores, Cops Say

GREENWICH, CT — A gang of four shoplifters stole several handbags from three Greenwich Avenue stores on Aug. 29 in a brazen grab-and-run spree, according to Greenwich police.

Brooks Brothers, Hermes and Saks Fifth Avenue - all within about a block of each other - were hit. The exact number of handbags that were stolen, and their values, was not disclosed.

The suspects were all described as Hispanic males, one of whom was seen wearing a gray fedora.

The investigation is ongoing, as detectives pour over surveillance video.
