Masked men steal $125K in Dior handbags from posh New Jersey mall

Masked men stole $125,000 in luxury handbags from a swanky New Jersey mall, leaving employees cowering in a back room as they snatched the designer goods right off the wall, police said Wednesday.

The high-fashion heist happened a little before 11 a.m. Monday when four men donning dark clothes and masks stormed into the Dior store at the Mall at Short Hills, about 20 miles outside of New York City, according to Millburn police.

The sales associates scampered into a back room and called 911, but by the time police arrived, the high-end raid was over, cops said.

The thieves — who were not armed — fled into a black SUV taking with them 25 stolen purses valued at $125,000, cops said.

A video posted to Instagram shows the men hurriedly loading their arms with expensive bags. 

One intruder is seen even jumping to reach a large monogrammed Dior Book tote perched high on a shelf.

Loaded up with stolen loot, the criminals can be seen running down the mall’s concourse for their getaway.

One shopper was captured walking by the store’s entrance and seemed surprised to see four men in hoodies and baseball caps sprint out juggling unboxed designer goods.
