A group of people have a new wardrobe after successfully getting away with nearly $30,000 in clothes from the Lululemon on 14th Street.

WEST VILLAGE, NY — A group of thieves has a new athletic wardrobe after successfully stealing nearly $30,000 in clothes from a West Village Lululemon store, police said.
The seven burglars, four men and three women, walked into the Lululemon at 400 W. 14th St. around noon on Tuesday, and made their way out with $28,780 in clothing, police said.
Video shows the group entering the store in a staggered order, and then casually walking back out the front door with carts and bags full of clothes.

A security guard posted at the door turns his head a few times to watch different members of the group leave — in one case as a woman runs out of the store with a full laundry bag — but at no point does he make a move to stop them.
The group fled in an unknown direction, police said.

The individuals ranged from 30 to 50 years old, police added.
The Lululemon heist comes a few weeks after a different fashion bandit successfully burglarized half-a-dozen high-end clothing stores in the West Village and surrounding area.
The bandit got away with about $50,000 from Scotch & Soda, Bonobos, Christian Louboutin and other fashion-foward stores.
