(100percentFedUp.com) In a recent theft attempt in Bellevue, Washington, a man was caught on surveillance footage trying to run out of a Louis Vuitton store with stolen goods. As he exited the store, he ran into a glass window and knocked himself unconscious.
The 17-year-old would-be robber attempted to steal the luxury goods in broad daylight, gathering up handbags totaling about $18,000. As he tried to run out of the store with the merchandise, he ran straight into a plate glass window and knocked himself unconscious.
Prosecutors have reported that the 17-year-old, whose name has not been made public since he is a minor, is part of an infamous retail crime ring that operates in Bellevue, Washington.
Businesses in the city have been struggling with crime rates. Penny Pahl, the owner of a local business, commented on the most recent incident, saying, “It’s just not OK, it isn’t, something needs to be done.”
“We put out blood and sweat into our businesses. And then for somebody to just be so brazen to walk into our business and think that they can take what we literally like work our whole life for. You’re taking away our livelihood,” said Pahl. “If these guys are caught, they go to court, they go through the process, but what are the repercussions?”
“Brazen is the perfect word for it,” said Bellevue Police Captain Rob Spingler.
