NEW YORK — Authorities are actively pursuing the suspects involved in a daring burglary at a luxury boutique in New York City, where high-end merchandise valued at millions was stolen early Monday morning.

The owner of the upscale store, known as 4G Seller located in Manhattan, estimates that the thieves made off with goods worth nearly $2 million. The burglars appeared to have a precise understanding of what items to target, suggesting prior knowledge of the store’s inventory.

Security footage from the store reveals the intruders making a dramatic entrance by breaking in through the second-floor fire escape at approximately 4:30 a.m. on Monday.

“The alarm system alerted us, and when we checked the cameras, we saw two individuals inside, wearing masks and construction crew attire, complete with headlamps,” explained Tommy Macari, a partner and brand ambassador for 4G Seller. “They seemed to have a clear plan, knowing exactly what they were after.”

The burglars managed to seize a variety of custom-designed clothing, belts, bags, and jewelry, all part of 4G Seller’s exclusive collection.

“They had garbage bags on them and they were just dropping them off the balcony and someone was running it to the car,” Macari said. “They were in and out of the store in four and a half minutes and they left, and 91 seconds later, the NYPD was here. And four minutes after that, we were here.”

The shop, which caters to celebrity clients by appointment, kept most of its appointments on Monday as NYPD crime scene detectives went through the shop and broken glass, looking for clues as to who was behind the heist.

“We heard some crashing sounds that woke us both up,” said upstairs neighbor Guy Story about the incident.

Story has been living in the neighborhood for decades, long before the high-end boutique came in that thieves might target. He says 4G Seller’s owner, Vincent Ferraro, doesn’t deserve this.

“He’s been working super hard for a few years, trying to build a business here, and so I feel really bad. I mean, he’s really dedicated to this business,” Story said.

Some of the stolen items are worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Many of them are one-of-a-kind.

The owner’s cousin who helps run the shop tells us the thieves may have known what to do, but may not know just how recognizable the items are, should anybody try to sell or use them.

“People wear these clothes to be seen in it. And, you know, if you’re seen in a one-of-one piece, we’re going to figure it out,” Macari said.
