The first robbery took place at around 3 pm on January 8 at the North Face store at 584 Broadway. Cops said a group walked into the store, took coats off the racks and fled with the handsfull of merchandise. The NYPD said the coats are valued at $2,700.

Cops said the same group struck again the next day. At around 4:15 pm on January 9, the group walked into the same North Face store and once again proceeded to load up on jackets. They then dashed out of the store without paying. Cops said the coats are valued at $1,380. 

The NYPD released the surveillance video of the various suspects donning the jackets as they went through the turnstiles.
