Overview
- Four people — three men and one woman — smashed a display at the Gucci store in Woodbury Common and grabbed more than a dozen handbags worth about $30,000.
- The group fled toward New Jersey, later drawing a police chase in Newark that lasted 20 to 30 minutes and at times went onto sidewalks.
- Officers later found the suspected rental getaway car abandoned near a home in Irvington.
- Investigators say they have identified the female suspect and obtained warrants, citing links to multiple similar thefts across the tri-state area.
- No arrests have been made as agencies in New York and New Jersey coordinate on a case typical of organized retail theft targeting outlet malls.
