Thieves Arrested For Armani Robbery

Giorgio Armani
GIORGIO ARMANI December last, had 1,378 garments stolen from a trading post in Verona, Italy. The update now is the Romanian police tracked down and arrested 10 Romanian citizens in Bucharest for stealing and smuggling 2 million Euros worth of clothing from the Italian designer's spring 2013 collection. 

When on the 29/01/20§2 in BUCHAREST, Romanian Police announced five Romanians were being questioned in the theft of €2 million ($2.68 million) worth of clothing from Italian designer Giorgio Armani's spring 2013 collection.

Police spokeswoman Raluca Seucan said then that Romanian authorities had searched the suspects' homes and barred them from leaving Romania for one month.
She says an Armani representative had recovered 1,378 items of clothing from police on Monday.

Prosecutors say thieves broke into a Verona, Italy, warehouse in mid-December and stole more than 1,400 items in the Armani collection, which they then sent to Romania in seven shipments.Seucan says two Romanians were earlier arrested in Italy.

But it's not the first time burglars have targeted fashion collections while en route to showrooms, stockists, and runway shows. In 2011, the entire spring/summer Marc Jacobs went missing when it was traveling by train from Paris to London. In 2009, thieves nabbed 75 dresses from a van in NYC that was carrying Victoria Beckham's collection. And in 2007, Christopher Kane's London studio was broken into and 23 pieces went missing.
