MIDTOWN SOUTH — A group of thieves smashed the glass door of a fur shop and made off with $25,000 worth of coats, according to the NYPD.

Three suspects broke into Henry Cowit/Madison Avenue Furs, at 118 W. 27th St. near Sixth Avenue, shortly before 4 a.m. on Nov. 16, loaded 30 fur coats into a black four-door sedan and fled, authorities said.

Security footage from inside the store shows two thieves — including one wearing a head lamp — dashing back and forth carrying piles of the pricey coats.

The store did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit tips online.
