SOHO — Two crooks snatched four handbags worth a total of $6,985 from designer SoHo shop Balenciaga earlier this week, police said.
The men grabbed the bags — which included pink, black and silver totes — from a display table about 12:15 p.m. Sunday, then quickly ran out of the 138 Wooster St. store.
Police were still investigating the incident Wednesday and said they have surveillance footage of the crime.
