Couple Stole $7,000 Mink Coat From Brooklyn Boutique, Cops Say

GRAVESEND, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) -- Police are looking for a couple who stole a pricey mink jacket from an upscale boutique in Gravesend.

Surveillance video showed the woman distracting a Pink Label boutique store clerk while the man grabbed the $7,000 Yves Salomon mink coat, CBS2's Steve Langford reported.

Employees of the store were shocked when they learned of the crime, considering the size of the tiny storefront.

One employee who wished to remain anonymous said no one even knew the mink was missing until a panicked salesperson began yelling, long after the crime occurred.

The suspects had Russian accents, and were described as 'unfriendly' by the store's owner.

"I think they professional," one store employee said.
