A group of about 10 thieves made away with nearly $130,000 in Louis Vuitton merchandise from a Nordstrom store in River North Sunday evening.
About 6 p.m. the thieves, wearing all black with face coverings and gloves, exited three different cars and tried to enter the Nordstrom at 55 E. Grand Ave., according to police reports obtained by the Chicago Sun-Times.
A security guard who was on-duty at the time attempted to stop them by pulling the doors shut but the struggle caused the exterior handles to break, causing roughly $5,000 in damages, according to the police report.
The group then made their way to the second floor and through the open doors of to the Louis Vuitton section where they took various clothes and purses, police said.
The thieves then fled in the vehicles — a black Kia, gray Acura and black Infiniti, officials said.
No injuries were reported.
Area 3 detectives are investigating and no arrests have been made.
