FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Police are trying to track down a group of thieves accused of working together to steal high-end clothing and watches from downtown Fort Lauderdale.
The suspects — described by city police as Hispanic males between 20 and 30 years old — hit two businesses along East Las Olas Boulevard for a total loss of nearly $100,000 in merchandise, investigators say.
Detectives believe they are responsible for incidents reported on Aug. 27, Dec. 1, and Dec. 7, and could also be involved in a robbery Nov. 10 in Delray Beach.
According to police reports, two watches totaling $90,000 were taken from the Coomi jewelry store on Las Olas, and nearby Elektrik Boutique was hit twice, with the items stolen including clothing and a purse.
Anyone with information about the incidents or the identity of the suspects is urged to contact Detective J. Vasquez at 954-828-5645.
