The incident occurred in Token Miami, where the antisocials broke the fence of the premises and entered to steal part of the merchandise that was there, authorities told the CBSLocal journalist.
The store’s security cameras captured the moment the thieves broke into the site around 3:00 a.m.
Thieves stole around $ 50,000
The Miami police indicated that the antisocials stole around $ 50,000 from the establishment, which sells exclusive clothes and shoes that are difficult to find in another chain or online.
“For something like this to happen, it’s kind of a setback,” said Derrick Chiverton, co-owner of Token Miami.
