A brazen gang of thieves who reportedly stole over $70,000 in merchandise from a New York City store had their getaway foiled when they were chased down by baton-wielding law enforcement officers after they rammed a police car during their attempted escape.

Police intervened after the trio of shoplifters allegedly pilfered goods from the exclusive Kirna Zabete boutique at 477 Broome Street in the city’s exclusive SoHo neighborhood in lower Manhattan, giving chase after the thieves sped off in a Dodge Charger only to be trapped in traffic, at one point reversing the vehicle into an NYPD cruiser.

The action which went down on Sunday was captured in a dramatic video posted to TikTok as baton-wielding police officers swarmed, beating on the car until the occupants emerged and were promptly arrested.

The video footage came shortly after the three suspects, who were identified as 29-year-old Janavia Marable. 27-year-old Brianna Grier and 29-year-old Jahil Pampli, all of Newark, N.J. had entered Kirna Zabete and “removed items from the display cases and racks,” according to the NYPD.

They then exited the premises with their loot that included a “Dior jacket, Dior pants, Gucci jackets, Gucci pants, Sacai jackets, a Bottega crossbody and a Bottega Jodie bag worth a total of $14,400,” the New York Post reported, the same gang had previously hit the store, making off with $50,000 in February. and sped away in the Charger.

“When officers attempted to conduct a lawful car stop, the vehicle refused to pull over and recklessly drove through traffic,” the NYPD said in a statement.

In the video, officers can be seen surrounding the vehicle and pounding on it, putting the cuffs on the suspects as they got out and hauling them off with one woman saying “I didn’t do nuthin'” as she was led off by police.

The trio was charged with grand larceny, reckless endangerment, fleeing an officer and resisting arrest. Two of the women were also charged for the  February 6 robbery at the same store, according to authorities.

Shoplifting has plagued the trendy SoHo area with crime continuing to rage in the Big Apple despite the mayoral election of former police officer Eric Adams who residents had hoped would be able to get the violence, thuggery and thievery under control, but the Democrat quickly discovered that the problem wasn’t going to be simply resolved.

New York City in general has seen an escalation in crime since former Mayor Bill de Blasio essentially handed the key to the city to criminals who exploited the national unrest following the unfortunate death of career criminal and drug addict George Floyd who perished after his fateful encounter with Minneapolis police in 2020.

When opportunistic thugs took advantage of the situation to ransack New York City stores, instead of cracking down, de Blasio sided with the crooks, demonized and defunded the police and posed with Black Lives Matter activists while the organization instigated the nationwide eruption of violence. Mayor Adams has been unable to put the genie back into the bottle.

Videos like the one of the SoHo posse are being posted to social media on a daily basis as the crime wave in Democrat-controlled cities rages out of control.

  1. Businesses could drastically reduce this kind of theft by not allowing negroes into their stores.

    1. How many businesses, even luxury goods stores, could withstand the resulting suits from the suit-happy All Crooks Love Us? If the losses from shop-lifters don’t force them out of business, the lawsuits definitely will.

  2. New York voted for this garbage and they deserve what they get. Democrats won’t do a thing. Criminals are loved by democrats, they don’t care about victims at all. Civil unrest is the game. Until one of the higher up politicians family is affected, nothing will be done.

  3. Batons? Back in the day before “woke” horse Thieves were shot!
    Law & Order in the US has been flushed down the toilet.

  4. Remember New York City, you HAD the opportunity to fix this problem last November. And what did you do? You voted in a administration that was as corrupt if not more. You left ass wipes like AOC Nadler and many others in office to continue to keep NYC the toilet of the north east and eastern half of the country

    1. You nailed it Steve. Curtis Sliwa would have been a much better mayor. He’s been protecting NYers since the 1970’s. Dumbass NYers are completely insane to think that voting in the same trash is going to change things. It won’t.

  5. It’s getting to the point that this Site is NOT worth coming to ! WHY are there some comments that CAN’T be commented on? Others that you can’t give a thumbs up or down. WHO THE FOCK made these changes and WHY is this CENSORSHIP part of this site now? AND what’s with the STUPID VIDEOS popping up and taking over the entire screen till you hit ESCAPE to get rid of it ???

    1. You’re not alone carcollector. I complained about the same thing. You up vote a comment and a red bar appears telling me I already voted when I have not. If this doesn’t get straightened out soon I’ll be moving on to another site and I’ll take all the people I recommended to bizpac with me.

      1. Looking for a conservative site that will not censor my comments, let’s me receive my likes, dislikes and comments on my comments. Just saying
        Please leave new site info on as many articles as you can. Thank you

    2. I can’t seem to be able to type more than 3 words without the video of the page completely taking over my screen, and having to take at least 30 seconds to get back to my typing.

  6. The nigga’s just want their reparations…ph’ uckin’ animals….just sayin’

  7. And an hour later the DA gave them walking papers. There is no justice these days. But good job PD.

  8. That may be only the second or third time I’ve seen video of punk shoplifters appended. Good job NYC police. You probably have incidents like this.

    1. Future “reparation collection” agents will just shift their schedules to avoid high traffic times.

  9. AND they walked out free as a bird with NO BAIL while the officers were working LATE to complete the incident reports! Maybe Gov. Adams sent over a couple donuts!

  10. Don’t send them thru the court system. We all know what will happen there. Don’t even take the to the police station. Just take the merchandise back to the store and head for the nearest marina and buy a small inflatable raft without any oars. Take them out about 100 miles into the ocean and set them free. Maybe even tape some raw meat to the bottom (under) of the raft.

    1. Take the creatures back to the store, leave them in handcuffs, and leave them there, but leave some batons behind also.

  11. They are victims not thieves. They were just trying to take back what was taken from them back in the 1800’s.

  12. WAIT… WE GOT A 13 %’r TAKING PLACE… CALL BACK UP !!
    Did I see Knee Grows involved ? Can’t be true ! Don’t say it, dat’s racist !
    Had enough yet America ?

    1. Dat dont prove nuttin. Days all racistes. Dair azzes is black! Day innocent.—- Big differences between blacks and whites is that whites learn from their mistakes.

      1. They were sold by their own tribal leaders for being either criminals or worthless to the tribe (good for nothings). Just saying

    2. At first I was thinking “Friggin Amish Youts” and then lo and behold WHO emerged from the vehicle??? I wonder if they checked to see if the Charger was stolen???
