Reuters New Jersey thieves snatch $12,000 in underwear Thu Mar 22, 5:16 PM ET NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three brazen New Jersey shoplifters made off with nearly $12,000 (6,100 pounds) in women's underwear by stuffing the goods into bags designed to foil anti-theft equipment at a Victoria's Secret store while the shop was open for business, police said.
Surveillance cameras captured two men and one woman jamming undergarments into large bags and walking past customers and staff into the Newport Centre Mall in Jersey City. Police said the thieves took over $6,900 in panties and more than $4,900 in bras. Panties cost between $5 and $20, according to the company's Web site. No arrests have been made since the crime was reported Tuesday night, said Lt. Edgar Martinez, spokesman for the Jersey City police department.
