2 held over 1.2m yuan coat theft
Print Edition
TWO Algerian men accused of stealing more than 20 leather jackets from high-end stores across the city have been taken into custody, Shanghai police said yesterday.
The exact value of the goods is not known, but the suspects, whose names were not released, are alleged to have stolen four jackets with a combined value of 1.2 million yuan (US$190,000) on March 22 alone.
One of the items was an 800,000 yuan (discounted from 1 million yuan) crocodile-skin coat that police said was shoplifted from the Nanjing Road W. outlet of luxury menswear retailer Stefano Ricci.
The two men, aged 50 and 57, were well dressed and very polite, a shop assistant was quoted as saying.
The pair worked together, with one of them distracting the salesperson by asking to try on various items of clothing, while the other made off with the jackets, police said.
With the help of footage from surveillance cameras in the store and on the street, the suspects were traced to a chain hotel on Qingpu Road in Hongkou District.
They were detained on March 24.
Police said the men, who arrived in Shanghai from France “some time ago,” stole multiple items from six stores in the Pudong New Area, and Huangpu and Jing’an districts.
