Late-night thieves made off with a staggering $1 million worth of merchandise early Monday morning from a high-end men’s resale store in SoHo that boasts an A-list clientele — including Drake and Mark Wahlberg.
The four-man team broke into 4G, an appointment-only reseller, on Spring Street around 4:45 a.m., before taking off in a sedan with merchandise totaling seven figures, police told The Post.
Tom Macari, a brand ambassador for the boutique, told PIX 11 that the sophisticated crew busted in through a window and clearly “knew what they were going for.”
“They came in, they had a spotter outside, they had a getaway driver,” he told the outlet.
“Kind of like the Louvre incident, to be honest.”
In late October, three scooter-riding thieves broke into the Louvre Museum in Paris and swiped $100 million worth of historic jewels — many that belonged to Napoleon III and his family.
The SoHo thieves primarily took “one of one,” or one of a kind merchandise, before escaping in under five minutes, Macari said.
“They were in and out in four-and-a-half minutes, he added. “Ninety-one seconds later, the NYPD was here. Four minutes after that, we were here.”
Surveillance footage from inside the pricey store showed the group breaking a window open to gain access before shoving multiple pieces of clothing and other items inside bags.
4G is chock full of high-end menswear with the price tag for many pieces of clothing and accessories eclipsing $1,000, according to its online marketplace accounts.
“There’s maybe 10 other people in the world that can curate articles of clothing like this and put it together,” Macari boasted.
The store’s owner, Vincent Ferraro, previously told PAPER Magazine that his flashy boutique has attracted major stars across all industries, from rapper Drake to actor Mark Wahlberg.
Ferraro, who the magazine reported was once arrested “for inciting riots where kids are fighting over $15,000 Chrome Hearts jeans,” described his bougie storefront as a “curator and personal shopper for the stars.”
