Police in San Francisco said late Monday they were investigating a brazen robbery at a high-end retail store in the center of the city.
KTVU reported that the incident occurred at about closing time at a Neiman Marcus location. Citing witnesses, the outlet said display cases were smashed and items were lifted from racks inside the store before the suspects fled.
A portion of the incident was captured on cellphone video.
Dion Lim, an anchor for KGO-TV, reported that city police confirmed the "shoplifting incident" at a Neiman Marcus at about 6 p.m. in Union Square. She tweeted that she was sent the video by a person whose wife works in the vicinity.
The KTVU report said the suspects could be seen sprinting from the stores with some of the items, including what appeared to be handbags. They ran into getaway cars.

Last month, a video emerged on social media that showed a man on a bicycle fill up a garbage bag with items inside a San Francisco Walgreens and leave the store without being stopped.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported at the time that Walgreens closed 17 stores in the city in the last five years.
