Call the fashion police! In a heist executed last Thursday in London, two armed thieves hijacked between 50 to 75 dresses from Victoria Beckham’s Spring/Summer 2010 collection from a van. The shipment of designer duds was bound for Nieman Marcus in New York. The dresses are estimated to be worth over $575,000.
“This operation was meticulously planned. The thieves must feel they can make a fortune selling the collection on the black market,” a source told the Daily Mail. “Victoria was informed straight away about the incident and was shocked and deeply saddened, although her first priority was the well-being of the driver.”
The thieves shattered the padlocks after the driver stopped on his way to Heathrow to make another delivery. When he returned to the van and saw that someone had broken in, the culprits jumped out of the back doors with oversize boxes of frocks.
The van’s driver was banged up but not seriously hurt.
A spokesperson for the former Spice Girl said that she hopes the collection can be remade in time for delivery to Nieman’s. Police are investigating. source
