Manhattan
A thief with expensive tastes stole more than $25,000 worth of Chanel and Louis Vuitton goods from stores in Soho and Midtown, authorities said.
Illyanna Juliet, 19, pulled a dress off a rack in the Chanel store at Spring and Wooster streets in Soho, then slipped a $16,000 Chanel purse beneath it at about 1:35 p.m. on June 28, a Criminal Court complaint states.
Using the dress as a shield, she let the pocketbook drop into another bag and waltzed out of the store with two unidentified accomplices, records show.
On Oct. 14, she struck at the Luis Vuitton Soho store on Greene Street at about 5:30 p.m., when she and an accomplice hauled in nearly $6,000 worth of accessories, including handbags, wallets, a watch case and a scarf, the documents state.
Four days later, she allegedly snatched more than $3,000 worth of wallets from the Vuitton store at West 34th Street and Seventh Avenue.
Juliet’s most recent designer heist came on Oct. 26 when she stole three Vuitton wallets worth about $1,000 from the Soho store and was seen on video with an unidentified accomplice, the complaint charges.
She has been charged with four counts of grand larceny and has two other open theft cases, in Manhattan and Brooklyn, court records show.
