$1M worth of merchandise stolen in less than 5 minutes from luxury store in SoHo — ‘kind of like the Louvre’ heist
A notorious group of burglars snatched out approximately $1 million worth of goods from a high‑end men’s resale shop in SoHo early Monday, a spot known for dressing Hollywood A‑listers like Drake and Mark Wahlberg.
The quartet broke into the invite‑only boutique, 4G, on Spring Street around 4:45 a.m. They slipped out in a sedan, hauling everyday luxury items that totaled a seven‑figure haul, police later told The Post.
Tom Macari, the shop’s brand ambassador, told PIX 11 that the crew entered through a window, clearly “knew what they were going for.”
“Their plan was spot‑on—spotter, driver, everything—,” he added.
“Kind of like the Louvre incident, to be honest.”
Back in late October, a trio of scooter‑riding thieves allegedly broke into the Louvre in Paris and removed $100 million worth of historic jewels, many pieces tied to Napoleon III’s family.
The SoHo outfit mainly went after unique, one‑of‑a‑kind pieces before skirting out in under five minutes, Macari said.
“They were in and out in four‑and‑a‑half minutes,” he explained. “Ninety‑one seconds later, the NYPD was there. Four minutes after that, we were too.”
CCTV captured the gang smashing a glass pane to get inside, stuffing tattered jackets, designer sweaters, and other opulent gear into bags.
4G is stacked with premium menswear, with many items priced well over $1,000 according to its listings on the online marketplace Grailed.
Macari bragged that only a handful—maybe ten people worldwide—can curate and assemble a collection of that caliber.
4G’s owner, Vincent Ferraro, has long touted the boutique as a “curator and personal shopper for the stars.” He first shared this view with PAPER Magazine and added that his brash storefront has drawn talent from every corner of the entertainment world, from rapper Drake to actor Mark Wahlberg. Ferraro, who the magazine reported was once arrested “for inciting riots where kids are fighting over $15,000 Chrome Hearts jeans,” has repeatedly described his chic shop as that same “curator and personal shopper for the stars.”
