$200,000 Philadelphia Handbag Heist Crew Caught on Video

Philadelphia, PA — The Central Detective Division is requesting the public’s assistance in identifying four suspects involved in a commercial burglary at LXY Philadelphia Boutique. The incident occurred on September 24, 2024, at approximately 3:07 a.m., when the suspects forced entry into the boutique located at 729 Sansom Street.

Once inside, they stole numerous handbags valued at approximately $200,000. The suspects were last seen fleeing east on Sansom Street in a late-model, dark-colored Jeep with tinted windows, a sunroof, dark wheels, and possibly a paper tag.

The suspects are described as follows:
