New Jersey 'shoplifting gang who stole $90,000 of purses from East Hampton Balenciaga store' are CAUGHT by cops after 90mph chase ended with their tire going flat

A New Jersey shoplifting gang who swiped $90,000 worth of purses from an East Hampton Balenciaga store was arrested after a 90mph car chase that ended when they popped a tire and tried fleeing into some nearby woods.

East Hampton Village Police said three men and two women entered the luxury store on Thursday at 1.30pm, grabbing bags off the shelves in under 30 seconds and making off in a black Dodge Durango.

New York State Troopers chased after the vehicle on the Long Island Expressway, and after the getaway car popped a dire, the suspects got out and fled into the wooded area near the highway.

After an extensive search, police caught four of the five suspects: Ali Harris, 28, Jamal Johns, 25, and Wazir Rodgers, 25, and Baseemah Tamika Davis, 34, all of Newark.

Davis had previously been arrested on Long Island on January 20 when cops found her and three others in possession of stolen property and drugs inside a BMW with fake New Jersey license plates.

The fifth suspect in Thursday's robbery remains at large.

According to State Police, employees at the store called 911 when the suspects stormed in and an East Hampton police officer spotted the car driving 'recklessly' in the village.

The officer instructed the vehicle to stop, but when the driver failed to comply, the officer called off the local pursuit to avoid an 'unsafe situation' within the village.

A State trooper then spotted the car speeding near Westhampton Beach and chased after it before it got on the Long Island Expressway, where more state officers joined the pursuit.

Must have been a set of cheap, thin Chinese tires.

“Ali Harris, 28, Jamal Johns, 25, and Wazir Rodgers, 25, and Baseemah Tamika Davis”

Hmmmm. All with muslim-sounding first names, but normal western last names. Nation of Islam converts? I wonder if NoI is big in Newark.

Bad choice - Long Island is swarming with cops, and it’s nearly 100 miles from East Hampton to NYC. The chance of getting away is very small.

Ny whi h means they will all be out without bail. Meanwhile anyone caught not wearing a mask or carrying their vaccine card will be tackled to the ground and handcuffed and denied bail because they might repeat the ‘offense’

To stop this, immediate execution would work.

No trial. No bail. Just BANG.

The BLM crowd wants to carry around a $5,000 purse to keep their $30 crack rock in. They drive their $80,000 car home to their section 8 subsidized apartments. They wear $800 sneakers and wear designer clothes but are probably over drawn in their bank account.

Yeah, so? Was any of that wrong?
Don’t they just let you go and let you keep it all now or has that changed?
