Brazen thieves have stolen a $10,200 bag from a pop-up Louis Vuitton store in New York.

Three brazen thieves stole a handbag worth a whopping $10,200 from a Louis Vuitton store in Manhattan during business hours on Wednesday, police said.

Two men and one woman stole a designer bag from an open boutique on Gansevoort Street off Washington Street in the Meatpacking District just after 5 p.m. Wednesday, police said.

According to authorities, no one was hurt.

The trio left in a U-Haul van with Arizona license plates, which was last seen heading to the West Side Highway, police said.

According to police, the suspect was wearing a white jacket and black overalls.

According to police, one of her accomplices was dressed in all black, and the other in a yellow-red-green jacket with black trousers.

At some point before the theft, one of the suspects walked into the store and took a photo of either the bag or its price tag before all three returned to collect it, police said.

No arrests had been made by Thursday morning, police said, and the theft is believed to be unrelated to any pattern.

The incident comes weeks after four brazen thieves stole $52,000 worth of luxury goods, including bags, shoes and clothing, from designer Givenchy’s Soho store, police said.

A post-analysis of police data earlier this month found that reported retail theft in the Big Apple hit an all-time high for the second year in a row in 2022.

Statistics show that shoplifting complaints rose to more than 63,000 last year — up 45% from the roughly 45,000 reported in 2021 and nearly 275% more than in the mid-2000s.

Mayor Eric Adams emphasized his desire to crack down on unrepentant shoplifters during his testimony at the annual budget hearing in Albany.
