Shoplifter helps himself to €94k Burberry coat

A brazen shoplifter has helped himself to an alligator-leather coat worth nearly HK$1M (€93,900) from a flagship Burberry store in one of Hong Kong’s busiest shopping districts, police said.

The pricey trench coat was displayed on a mannequin, and staff at the British brand’s shop in Tsim Sha Tsui discovered it was missing after they closed the store on Wednesday.

“The person who reported the case discovered a leather jacket worth about HK$900,000 had disappeared.
