Investigators released video from security cameras that caught the Sept. 27 break-in and still pictures from the store where the men bought more tools after discovering they did not have the equipment they needed, The Miami Herald reported. Once they got in, the trio loaded a white Econoline van with Chanel perfumes.
Chanel No. 5, the company's best-known brand, retails for $95 a quarter-ounce or $260 an ounce, according to a Chanel Web site.
Detective Rebecca Perez, a spokeswoman for Miami-Dade police, asked the public to alert police if they spot Chanel being sold at bargain prices.
"More than likely they're going to try and sell them on the street,'' she said. "People should be aware of what they're out there purchasing. If anyone comes in contact with anyone trying to sell these items, they should call police immediately."
