The notion that 14 purses can be "valued at $35,050" (over $2,500 per purse) merits its own separate entry in the crime log.

How many men where involved ? Furthermore, I cannot believe they had easy access to the purses. Two years ago, I was window shopping just outside of the store when one man was able to nab ONE purse that was left on the counter. A little Speedy model. The exit to the garage is alongside one side of the store. Maybe they need to move their location.

How on earth did they defeat several salespeople and mall security with pepper spray? Towson Town needs to beef up security in that wing with all the high-end stores and street access. There are plenty of places for me to spend my money. I don't want to take my chances at an unsecure mall just for the convenience of having several designer stores in one place -- I'd rather shop online and stay safe.

The so-called Luxury Wing of Towsontown always seems deserted and a little creepy to me. I can see why a thieving thug would target it.

The last time my wife and I were in that stor they had their own security guard.

I'm really wreaking my brain trying to figure out how did these men get away with so much merchandise when in fact the purses are behind the counter, an the report says the only weapon was used was pepper spray......a inside job with either the store sales clerks or their security if you ask me

How do two people carry out 14 purses and then run down the hall with them? Picturing this just makes me laugh.

Dfllllllll dfllllll that's the mall problem dflllll

to ebony and kate .. apparently either you have never been pepper sprayed and/or don't know anyone who has taken a blast in the face at close range ..pepper spray will put you down and out ..unless you're a EDP or really drunk ..

@Holton....I'm not saying that pepper spray couldn't take a powerful affect on some one! Pretty much what I was saying is okay if you've ever went into this particular store (which I have) you have two security guards to greet you at the door....not including several employees walking the floor ready to assist you! Louis Vuitton don't have several purses just laying across the counter....they pull them from the draw behind the counter as you acquire about different ones. So the point I was trying make is how can these suspects get away with 35,000 worth of merchandise from behind the counter in a locked drawer...an the article mentioned that several employees we're pepper spray as they tried to go after them so this had to have been after they already had the purses in their possession

@Lee I'm from the surrounding area in this particular location it's a escalator right next to the Louis Vuitton store that takes you right out the door into the street....I bet everyone who's commenting once this case is all said an done it'll end up to have been an inside job

It was planned! They knew what day, time, how many employees an securities guards that would be in the store when this went down..an I believe it was a inside job!!

Love the detailed description of the robbers.

Were they black or white.

Not tryna be a racist but you know they were white cause if they were blk i wouldn't say four men it would have said four african american men

It was four MEN. Gosh .. You both sound like children!

NO, you're incorrect. They said that the 4 men fled the scene of the crime, hate to break it to you but that is extremely typical of blacks to use such tactics.

Anyone would leave the scene after stealing something.....but blacks just do it so much better then anyone else. Not being racist, just stating very true facts.

The purses are all around the store on the shelves so if you buy one, than they go in the drawers or in the back to get them so basically it's to easy for somone to take them. They call it snatch an grab they do it all the time pull it up on line

They need better security, pay a security firm to work there they make more than enough money but they probably don't care cause insurance going pay for it anyway

@Matthew well they learned from the best. They learned from a race that stole millions of people. Not being racist just stating true facts.

not being racist just stating true facts you never know a person situation mostly if a person steal it because they are poor or broke... but whats the excuse for killing you own mom or shoot up a school full of kids or starting a cult and confusing god fearing people into having sex with each other and then commiting suicide....by the way what race were they?

Donnell.. you know..thru out recent history .. the mass murderers..spree killers ... serial killers .. holocaust .. with a few exceptions (NYC Zodiac, eileen wernose, ft. hood, beltway snipers) .. all those "doing folks" were white guys...!!!

After talking with someone who was there at the mall that day, 4 men (I didn't think to ask their race) came in, spread out, asked to see some bags & then started grabbing. Every bag is NOT in a case, it did not appear to be an inside job, and when security tried to stop them, they were pepper sprayed. These kind of snatch & grab rings are always around. Where do you think some of the shady looking street vendors get their merchandise & can sell it so cheap?

We need to ban pepper spray. Then the criminals would think twice about using it illegally.
