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.

Yes...unless they were white!
Should I bother to look.🙄
I object to the use of the term "worth."
Amen to that!
Is Baseemah the Brains or the Beauty of the Gang?
Obviously we should hire more Tires for Law Enforcement.
You wonder why I don’t not care if Putin nuked every democrat city in the world.
If it’s the end of the world as we know it, then so be it. /spit
Is “Wazir” a boy’s or a girl’s name. I need to know, my wife is expecting.
“Ali, Jamal, Wazir, and Baseemah Tamika Davis”
Well one thing about the Amish, they do make it easy to identify them when screening employment applications.
In fairness the vehicle was probably stolen.
Typical moron Islamo-Amish criminals.
Thanks to BiteMe and the Democrats, it cost them more in gas going round trip from Newark to East Hampton than what they could get from fencing the stolen purses. PURSES???
Their skin color is of lovely shades, the inner content of character is a rotten, putrid mess. All that criminality and those morons don’t even get to keep even one of those heisted bags. Unimpressive dumb ashes.
The fact that $90,000 in purses can fit in something smaller than a tractor trailer says more about the store and their customers than it does about the gang.
Most likely it was.
Dpn’t look Ethyl! too late...
Wow. So they stole all 2 of them?
They aren’t stealing Danner work boots.
Put the purses in jars. Once they reach in and grab them they don’t realize they have to let go of the purse to free their hand from the jar.
