A 17-year-old thief picked the wrong day to leave his brains at home.
The youngster was caught on surveillance video ripping off $18,000 in merchandise from a Louis Vuitton store in Bellevue, Washington, running for the exit — and then knocking himself unconscious after slamming into the store’s glass door.
What are the details?
It isn’t clear when the broad-daylight caper occurred, but KOMO-TV ran a story about it Oct. 27.
Police said the suspect grabbed handbags worth $18,000 off displays and tried to run from the store.
The problem for the perp? A door was in his way, and he apparently didn’t see it.
So he ran headlong into the plate glass and knocked himself out, KOMO said.
“Brazen is the perfect word for it,” Bellevue Police Captain Rob Spingler added to the station.
Prosecutors told KOMO the teen was part of a retail theft ring that includes a convicted killer and career thief.
