Other luxury stores in Union Square have been victimized by robbers as recently. Back in November 2021, there was a reported smash-and-grab spree where suspects took most of Louis Vuitton’s inventory display before officers arrived.
In 2017, thieves ran a car into the front portion of the Union Square Gucci store getting away with thousands of dollars in merchandise.
