Oak Brook, Illinois, Louis Vuitton: 14 people rushed into a store outside Chicago and ran out with at least $100,000 in merchandise, police say
Police told WLS that the men stormed into the store at the Oak Brook Mall on Wednesday, took out trash bags and began filling them with store items. Surveillance video from the store, obtained by WLS, shows chaos as masked vendors swarm into the store to grab bags and other goods while shoppers rush into the street.
According to Sheriff James Kruger, Oak Brook Police Chief James Kruger, investigators have information about three vehicles the thieves drove away. Oak Brook is about 25 miles west of Chicago.
“We’re working with those leads to be able to identify the suspects,” Kruger told WLS.
“We don’t know if there’s any real connection, but there are certainly similarities,” Kruger said.
The thefts are similar to the one in California over the weekend.
