In a Ross shop in Arizona, brazen burglars were spotted ripping security wires off expensive purses and leaving with a basket of shoes.
An unnamed guy and lady were seen in a video that was released by PPV-Tahoe on Instagram robbing a basket full of shoes and a load of expensive handbags.
Alarm bells can be heard ringing in the footage as a guy wearing a white shirt is seen leisurely perusing the rack of handbags before casually walking away with what look to be a couple Michael Kors bags.
According to PPV-Tahoe, a lady who is accompanying him can be seen taking a fancy laundry basket full of shoes out the entrance of a business in Peoria, Arizona.
Customers continued to shop as if nothing had happened, not seeming to be disturbed by the egregious robbers.
Even the manager, who looked to be standing close to the rack, showed no sign of interaction with the burglars.
The two were pursued outside by a Ross employee who looked to toss a rock at them, but it didn’t seem to deter them.
It’s not known whether the incident was reported to the police or how much stuff was taken. Both Ross shops in Peoria said in a statement to DailyMail.com that none of their employees were aware of the occurrence.
The number of robberies in the nation has increased, particularly in New York City, where a team of seven burglars was seen quietly leaving a Lululemon shop with goods worth $30,000.
On August 16, a security officer looked over as seven burglars, thought to be between the ages of 30 and 50, entered the shop on 14th Street and 9th Avenue with empty trolleys and laundry bags and seized heaps of goods.
Targeting the upscale West Village district, the bold thieves fled the shop with their loot without being caught by the security monitor.
The guard, who was clad in a white shirt and black tie, seemed unconcerned as the criminals entered and exited the shop at midday while stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of products.
While another thief battled to stuff all the garments he had acquired into a bag in front of the guy, who didn’t budge an inch, the first one fled with a cart full of stolen things.
A second lady left the shop with a full bag. The gang took off in an unidentified direction.
