SOHO — Hundreds of pairs of underwear were swiped last week from a Soho Victoria's Secret that's no stranger to panty raiders.

Two women snatched 252 pairs of underwear — worth a total of $3,366 — from the 591 Broadway store and walked out at about 5 p.m. on March 22, police said.

This particular outpost has been hit several times by shoplifters, losing 300 panties last January to thieves, and more than $3,000 worth of garter belts and thongs in another incident in July.

Victoria's Secret did not immediately return request for comment.

The thieves were still at large as of Tuesday afternoon.
