Burberry cannot catch a break. The luxe retailer’s Magnificent Mile location has fallen victim to shoplifting mobs, late-night burglary teams, and looters. On Thursday afternoon, it got hit again.
Officially, a police spokesperson said four offenders entered a store on the 600 block of North Michigan and walked out with an “unknown amount of handbags” around 12:35 p.m. The store is identified as Burberry in a preliminary CPD report.
One of the thieves punched a 25-year-old woman in the arm as they headed out the door, police said. She refused medical attention.
An initial estimate put today’s loss at around $35,000.
According to the spokesperson, the crew escaped in a stolen 2018 Nissan Maxima. CPD records show it was stolen in Hyde Park on Wednesday evening.
