Knowhere News– An Adventurous Group of thieves with guns broke into a Gucci store in Lower Manhattan during the day, forcing the high-end store to close for the rest of the day. Around 12:10 p.m., the event happened at the store on 14th Street. Two men and a woman entered the store with guns drawn.
As soon as they walked in, they told the workers to get on the ground and started taking things off the shelves. The thieves then left the scene of the crime in a Honda CRV, driving west on 14th Street. Even though police responded quickly, the thieves are still on the run, and police are not saying how much the stolen goods were worth.
The robbery was so brazen that it scared both shoppers and store workers in the area, which made worries about the rising crime rate in the area even stronger. Plundering and other illegal activities are happening more often, which is a problem for both companies and residents.
