Serial Thieves Steal $100K In Merchandise, Fort Lauderdale PD Need Your Help Identifying Them

FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – Fort Lauderdale police need your help identifying three serial theft suspects.

The men are accused of stealing from high-end stores
along Las Olas Boulevard.

The incidents happened on August 27, December 1, and December 7.

The trio hit the Elektrik boutique at 619 East Las Olas boulevard twice.

Carla Montano was working both times, "It's frustrating and overwhelming," she tells CBS4.

Montano says When the first robbery happened in late August, they cleaned out a rack of high-end clothing worth $20,000.

"One of them asked for a shoe size. When I went to the back to get the shoe, I came back and they were gone."

When the three thieves returned in December Montano's guard was up.

A coworker noticed an expensive handbag was missing.

She approached the trio and said, "I saw you took the bag and I'm gonna need you to give it back." But the three muscled their way out of the store and took off down the block.
