A group of robbers has been targeting stores in New York City for months.A federal jury convicted a Brooklyn man this week for a brazen daytime smash-and-grab-style robbery of a Chanel store in Manhattan's SoHo neighborhood last year.
Eric Spencer and three others went into the store on Feb. 2, 2021, and began ripping handbags off of the cables that secured them to store displays. When an armed security guard confronted Spencer, he yelled, "What are you going to do? Shoot me?" and reached into his waistband and intimated he had a firearm, causing store workers to back off as the robbers made off with more than $200,000 in luxury goods.In the days after the robbery, Spencer took photos of the stolen bags on his phone,about acquiring so many bags he "COULD OPEN A SMALL BOUTIQUE," and sent text messages confirming he had sold the stolen merchandise.
Spencer, 30, was convicted on conspiracy and robbery charges. He faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison on each count.
