Thieves pretend to be mannequins until store shut before stealing designer clothes

A gang of crafty thieves pretended to be mannequins when a department store was locking up for the night - before they made away with £10,000 worth of designer clothes.

They posed as dummies at a Beales store in Worthing, Sussex, alongside the real models on display.As soon as staff had shut up shop , they browsed the stock at their leisure picking out what they wanted.

Sussex Police were baffled as to how the gang - who are still on the run - got in without setting off alarms at the upmarket store.The alarm only sounded when they left the building via a fire escape with thousands of pounds worth of gear.
