Armed Crooks Rob Gucci Store In Lower Manhattan, Police Say

NEW YORK CITY — A trio of robbers sashayed away from a Lower Manhattan Gucci store with $51,000 in merchandise, police said.

The broad daylight heist Monday unfolded inside a swanky 400 W. 14 St. storefront in the Meatpacking District, authorities said.

Three as-yet-unidentified robbers walked into the store near Ninth Avenue about 12:05 p.m., with one drawing a gun, NYPD officials said.

Video released by the NYPD shows a masked gunman hold a pistol at store employees before joining another to loot the store. They grab Gucci bags, suitcases and other goods while a confederate outside, who appears to be a woman, runs up to the front door, the video shows.

The robbers carried their haul into a black Hondo CRV and drove off into New Jersey by the Lincoln Tunnel, officials said.

NYPD officials released photographs and video showing three people who they said were the suspects.
