High-end fashion stores and items have been targeted by thieves throughout the District in recent weeks.
The Metropolitan Police Department said that a mob of as many as 15 young thieves raided the Chanel store in downtown D.C. on Sunday and made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of merchandise.
The jackets, which can cost up to $1,000, were stolen from five victims in four separate incidents between Jan. 24 and Feb. 5, according to WJLA, the local ABC affiliate for the city. “All of a sudden someone’s like, ‘Gimme your coat! Gimme your coat!’ And I thought, is this a joke?” Mrs. Kaufman told WRC-TV, the local NBC affiliate for D.C. “And then he waved a gun by me … and I took it off and gave it to him.”
