TRIBECA — A group of six men swiped $14,570 worth of clothes from a pricey TriBeCa boutique in less than 10 minutes, police said.
The men walked in, grabbed seven pairs of designer jeans, worth more than $1,000 each, along with a $550 hoodie and a selection of shirts, then fled the store, Patron of the New, about 12:25 p.m. on March 18, police said.
The 151 Franklin St. shop is no stranger to steal-and-run shoplifting sprees by large groups. In June, 15 young men snatched more than $34,000 worth of designer duds from the shop — in about 20 seconds.
Police said they are still investigating whether the crimes are related.
The store did not immediately return request for comment.
