20 bags stolen in ‘smash-and-grab’ at luxury boutique in River Oaks district

Houston Police are investigating a burglary that happened early Saturday morning at a luxury boutique in the River Oaks district.

A group of thieves broke into the Moreau Paris store around 4 a.m. and stole at least 28 handbags. A store employee says the bags are worth roughly $45,000.

They also left a big mess behind.

They smashed the shop’s glass to get into the store.

“I think they just got anything they could. It was very fast, I think it was like 20 seconds,” said Ana Aica, who works at Moreau Paris. “They just came inside and grabbed anything they could.”
