Video: Spectacular robbery of a Gucci store in Los Angeles

Several young men steal luxury merchandise from the Beverly Hills store and escape through the front door without being arrested.

The Gucci store in a shopping mall in Century City, (Los Angeles, California), was the target of a spectacular robbery by a group of nine men last Monday. The assault was caught on video cameras and quickly went viral on social media.

According to the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD), the robbery took place at a store in the Westfield Century City shopping center in Beverly Hills at around 3:10 p.m. The footage shows nine young men in hoodies running out of the Gucci store with various items as the security guard watches the heist with little reaction.

The thieves each carried multiple items, to the point where some items fall out of their hands and they must stop to pick them up as they run out the doors. In the video, a man who appears to work for the store is heard calling the police. Some customers recorded the scene in amazement at the performance of the assailants.

The amount of the stolen material is not known at this time. The robbery came just weeks after a group of men robbed a Gucci store in San Francisco and made off with about $48,000 in stolen goods.
