BRONX - Cops are looking for five men who gave themselves the five-fingered discount to thousands of dollars worth of merch from a store inside the Bay Plaza Mall, the NYPD announced. 





Cops released surveillance video of the five suspects wanted for the shoplifting spree back in January. 



At around 7:40 pm on January 29, the five men walked into a store inside the Bay Plaza Mall at 200 Baychester Avenue. Cops said the men walked around the store taking items off the shelves and stuffing them in their pockets. They then all left the store without incident. 


Cops said the items stolen are valued at around $3,800. 


All of the suspects are described as males with dark complexions and medium builds. None of them tried to cover their appearances with masks. 



Anyone with information in regard to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or for Spanish, 1-888-57-PISTA (74782). The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the CrimeStoppers website at https://crimestoppers.nypdonline.org/ or on Twitter @NYPDTips.
