NEW YORK (Reuters) -- Three shoplifters made off with nearly $12,000 in women's underwear by stuffing the goods into bags designed to foil anti-theft equipment at a Victoria's Secret during business hours, police said.
Surveillance cameras captured two men and one woman jamming undergarments into large bags and walking past customers and staff into the Newport Center Mall in Jersey City, New Jersey.
Police said the thieves took more than $6,900 in panties and more than $4,900 in bras. Victoria's Secret bras retail from $30 to more than $50. Panties cost between $5 and $20, according to the company's Web site.
No arrests have been made since the crime was reported Tuesday night, said Lt. Edgar Martinez, spokesman for the Jersey City police department.
"This isn't something we've seen before. It's a lot of underwear to take," Martinez said.

Suppose they could sell them cheap, since underwear there is so expensive. $30 to $50 for a bra is a lot. I pay $9 bucks for mine.
