BATTERY PARK CITY — That's gotta burn.
A man swiped a $14,000 "haute couture" lighter from a display shelf at a high-end cigar shop, the NYPD said.
The suspect stole the pricey S.T. Dupont piece from Davidoff of Geneva’s store inside Brookfield Place, at 225 Liberty St., around 3 p.m. on April 23, police said.
There was a “large group of people” inside the store when the theft happened, Davidoff’s director of retail Luis Torres told DNAinfo New York.
“We have a video and law enforcement has it, the mall has it, and they’ve been reviewing it, so hopefully we can catch the perpetrator,” he said.
The stolen lighter is "a really beautiful haute couture piece,” Torres added.
Police searched the mall after the incident but weren’t able to find the thief.
No one had been arrested in connection with the incident as of Friday, an employee working at the store said.
