In news which resembles the plot to a hipster version of Ocean’s 11 (but with less Brad Pitt eating finger food) thieves have stolen up to $1 million worth of Ksubi gear after targeting the label’s warehouse in Sydney over the weekend.
The robbers made off with 3000 pairs of jeans specifically targeting the brand’s high selling Autumn/Winter collection W.A.R., a range we called “the strongest, most cohesive luxury street wear collection we’ve seen from the brand”, whilst ignoring $300,000 worth of guitars.
Police report that the thieves entered the building through a rehearsal studio in the roof before escaping in a warehouse van which they later burnt out in Glebe. Though the specific time is not yet known, the jeans were stolen at some time between Friday afternoon and Sunday morning.
Speaking with The Daily Telegraph Ksubi’s George Gorrow said that the theft was calculated because “the stock was tricky to locate,” and “they had to be looking for that product,”.
“They went through different boxes, which had holes punched through them and products pulled out.” he said. “They were calculated about the stock that they took.”
Anyone with info regarding the robbery is urged to contact the fashion police or Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
