Video shows thieves hit high-end boutique in NYC's SoHo, steal more than $1 million in luxury clothes, jewelry

Police are investigating a $1 million burglary at a high-end clothing store in New York City's SoHo neighborhood. 

Employees at 4G, an appointment-only showroom at 150 Spring St., said thieves broke in early Monday and stole jeans previously worn by celebrities, among other items, and it was all captured on video.

What surveillance video shows

Surveillance footage from before dawn shows a highly coordinated robbery at the luxury consignment shop, which isn't open to the average public.

"We're very tight here. It's not an open door. You have to be buzzed up. They knew what they were looking for," business partner Tommy Macari said. "Around 4:40 in the morning, we had an alarm go off. There were two guys in here, masked up, construction outfits, headlamps, the whole show."

The stolen jeans are worth tens of thousands of dollars, the workers said, adding the suspects also took one-of-a-kind jewelry, shoes and more that were worn by celebrities, including Lenny Kravitz, Kim Kardashian and Cardi B.

"We're a luxury reseller of exclusive clothing brands," Macari said. "Cops actually showed up 91 seconds after the getaway car left. It was super calculated. They brought their own ladder. They used the fire escape to get up. They threw a rock through the window. It's sort of like they knew where everything was. They hit the certain racks where the most expensive clothing was."

The store estimates a total loss of over $1 million.  

What we know about the suspects

Police said they're looking for four men in connection with the break-in. Investigators believe they fled in a sedan. The shop's owner said investigators collected blood samples and fingerprints from the scene, but their best evidence might be the missing merchandise itself, which is one of a kind, and easy to track.

So far, no arrests have been made and the investigation is ongoing.
