 Robbery happened at Georgetown Optician in Washington DC

A group of thieves in Washington, D.C., stole over $140,000 worth of designer glasses in a broad daylight smash-and-grab robbery on Sunday, authorities said.

The theft happened just after 3 p.m. at Georgetown Optician at the Wharf on 699 Water Street Southwest when four suspects entered the high-end eyewear store, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department said.

Surveillance video shows the suspects snatching eyeglasses from glass display cases and stuffing them into bags before fleeing the store.

A worker at the store told police that two suspects had asked to see a pair of Cartier glasses they saw the night before when another masked suspect pulled out a hammer and started smashing the glass of the display counter, FOX5 DC reported.
