$336.4 million Powerball jackpot unclaimed
SANTA FE, N.M., April 24 (UPI) -- The owner of a Santa Fe, N.M., high-end sunglasses store said a security camera recorded shady crooks stealing $28,000 worth of merchandise.
Brian Body, owner of Acoma Optical, said the thieves spent only 39 seconds in the store while stealing more than 80 pairs of expensive Versace, Gucci and Christian Dior shades, KRQE-TV, Albuquerque, N.M., reported Thursday.
Body, who opened the store in February, said his insurance will cover the stolen sunglasses and broken window that the burglars used for their entrance.
"You build up something. you work very hard and somebody comes in and takes it in the middle of the night and takes advantage of that," he said. "I'm just thankful that everybody's OK."
Police said they are investigating whether the burglary is connected to two similar incidents at an Albuquerque motocross store and three burglaries in Albuquerque suburb Rio Rancho.
