Washington, DC authorities are looking for three people who were captured on surveillance cameras stealing over $36,000 worth of luxury merchandise from a Moncler store.

The Metropolitan Police Department released the footage on YouTube with hopes the public could help identify the trio of individuals who entered Moncler in the 900 block of Palmer Alley, NW, at about 2:15 p.m. on Jan. 18, 2024.

Video footage showed the alleged thieves walking into the store. The first person to walk in appeared to be a female donning long hair and a mask while wearing boots, skinny jeans, a Nike hat and a white and yellowish-orange-sleeved jacket.

The second person was wearing a gray Nike pullover sweatshirt and dark pants, while the third was wearing a black Nike jacket, black jeans and black boots. All three suspects were wearing masks to conceal their faces.

The suspect in the orange-sleeved jacket was seen carrying a fire extinguisher as if she were trying to figure out how to operate the device before pointing it toward the store and walking back in.

The next clip showed the same suspect still struggling with the fire extinguisher as the man in the gray hooded sweatshirt grabbed several jackets from the rack while rushing up from behind her.
