According to law enforcement sources, two migrant teenagers were apprehended late Wednesday for stealing thousands of dollars worth of designer clothing from a downtown Brooklyn Macy’s.
The heist at the Fulton Street department store just after 9 p.m. was carried out by Alan Bello, 18, and a 17-year-old youth whose name has not been disclosed. The two individuals obtained a quantity of name-brand clothing.
According to police and sources, they attempted to flee with the stolen products, which were estimated to be worth $2,421. However, they were halted by a worker.
The police responded and apprehended both teenagers on the spot, charging them with grand larceny, according to the authorities.
According to sources, they are recognized as migrants; however, their country of origin was not immediately identified. Additionally, it was uncertain whether the duo had been previously apprehended in New York City.
