On Sunday, just before 4 a.m., The Bella Abby and Ava Boutique in Newport Beach<\/a> fell victim to a heist during which three thieves were caught on camera breaking through the store\u2019s front door and stuffing garbage bags full of high-end purses before driving off.\u00a0<\/p>\n “They went right to the Chanels. They wiped out all of those. Then they grabbed all of the Herm\u00e8s, and then they just started throwing things down,” owner Jennifer Sprenger told ABC 7<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n “When you have a team of three people, it’s probably pretty easy, in three minutes, to get a lot of stuff.<\/p>\n VIDEO SHOWS MASKED THIEVES USING SLEDGEHAMMER IN BRAZEN LULULEMON HEIST BEFORE FLEEING IN U-HAUL<\/a><\/p>\n Security cameras recorded the moment three masked suspects forced their way into The Bella Abby and Ava Boutique in Newport Beach, Calif., Sunday, Jan. 18, 2026.

My heart is broken.”<\/p>\n Within minutes, the bandits made off with over $200,000 in stolen luxury items, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n The suspects reportedly fled in a brand-new BMW 4 Series and a Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Coup\u00e9, two high-end vehicles that lacked identifiable license plates.\u00a0<\/p>\n SUSPECTED THIEVES CAUGHT ON CAMERA SMASHING WASHINGTON STATE STOREFRONT WITH TRUCK IN ATM HEIST ATTEMPT<\/a><\/p>\n Masked suspects appear on surveillance video moving quickly through the store before fleeing with over $200,000 in goods.

I have three daughters in college, and here I am, working to take care of my family. To have them rob me of half of my inventory, it’s not right.”<\/p>\n The Newport Beach boutique reportedly opened about a year ago, and Sprenger suspects the burglars had targeted the store and pulled off the heist using knowledge of the store\u2019s layout and security measures<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n “They knew where the lights were,” Sprenger added, according to ABC 7. “They shut off the video cameras. They turned cameras. How would they know where all this was? It’s like it was a very well thought-out, planned attack.”<\/p>\n MASKED LOOTERS CAUGHT ON CAMERA TRASHING FLORIDA STORE, STEALING CLOTHES<\/a><\/p>\n The suspects reportedly fled in a brand-new BMW 4 Series and a Mercedes-Benz GLC 300 Gran Coup\u00e9, two high-end vehicles that lacked identifiable license plates.
