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.
