Women Snag $29K Of Clothing From SoHo Fitting Room: Cops

SOHO, MANHATTAN — Three women put more than $28,000 worth of merchandise from a luxury SoHo store in their bags and walked out the door, police said.

The three women stuffed the clothing into their tote bags while they were in the fitting rooms at The RealReal, a luxury consignment store at 80 Wooster St., on Jan. 21 around 7 p.m., police said.

All three, who were caught on surveillance video inside the store, walked out with the clothing in their bags without paying, police said. They had about $28,700 worth of clothes in the bags.

The heist is at least the third big-time burglary in high-end SoHo stores police have reported happened in January.

The week before The RealReal grand larceny, a group of thieves broke into a Jimmy Choo on Greene Street and stole $36,000 in wallets and purses.

A week after that, masked thieves busted into the Mackage Clothing Boutique on Mercer Street by throwing what appears to be a giant rock through the glass front door. The six burglars stole 52 coats worth $40,000 total, police said.
