A video showing a trio of female shoplifters targeting a Burlington store in California is gaining attention after highlighting their slow-motion getaway.
The brazen heist unfolded on Saturday at the discount retailer's North Freeway Boulevard location in Sacramento, where the three women were caught on camera trudging away with shopping carts loaded with stolen goods.
'D**n look at these people stealing! Say hi to the camera!' the bystander filming the incident can be heard saying, as alarms blared and the shoplifters piled mounds of clothing and shoes into the trunk of a red Dodge Charger.
The Sacramento Police Department told DailyMail.com in a statement that it is investigating the audacious caper.
'We are aware of the incident. Officers responded, a police report was generated and it is an active investigation,' the department said.
Investigators should have solid clues to propel their investigation, as the bystander video clearly shows the face of the getaway driver and the license plate of the car.
A copy of the video clip was shared by the Instagram account @ppv_tahoe on Thursday, where it has already received more than 16,000 likes and hundreds of comments.
The @ppv_tahoe account noted that in addition to audaciously looting the Burlington store, the three shoplifters had parked in a handicap spot without displaying a placard.
An employee at the Burlington store in Sacramento acknowledged awareness of the incident to DailyMail.com, but referred all questions to the company's corporate press department.
A spokeswoman for the company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Headquartered in New Jersey, Burlington Stores operates more than 900 off-price retail locations across the country, and recorded $8.7 billion in net sales last year.

Oh, geez - looks like mama pulled the pin and flipped the spoon on a fat grenade and forgot to let it go.
cops would haul YOU off for destruction of property. help the robbers put the spare on and send them on their way.
that’s how it goes these days.
I thought that ws a Bison stampede at first.
I grew up in a neighborhood where our local convenience/grocery store was run by an old Italian man. If you stole something, his sons would have no problem pursuing you and administering prompt justice.
Then he would tell your parents....
$1,600 grocery theft
Oh there you go insulting Bison again!
The people pay for that. They just raise prices to cover the amount of the theft.
Decriminalize crime...problem solved.
I warned you in the first comment that it was Mrs. Jabba the Hutt and family!
They did not even return their carts to the cart corral.
What no tin foil on the license plate. Should have at least one in custody before the end of the day.
LOL Look again. The woman wearing the brown pants has them stuffed with items she didn’t put in the shopping cart. Too bad the video doesn’t show her emptying her slacks. That would be interesting to watch.
They probably can’t afford to feed that one.

I saw a fat gal from India walk out with a television between her legs.
I would agree that the way some shoplifting could be considered looting. Are there different laws & fines for looting? Not sure what all might be involved, but I bet if the hide/hides of the culprits were displayed on the storefront, it might be a deterrent for the next bunch wanting to try it. Maybe just the pictures & names of the perps prominently displayed in the store would help. Something needs to be done tho or there will be no stores left open someday. Insurance won’t pay forever.
