The Burberry flagship on Chicago’s Michigan Avenue was hit by burglars yesterday for the second time this week, reports ABC 7 Chicago.

Early Thursday morning, six men, two armed with guns, reportedly pried open the doors, entered the store and fled with as much merchandise as they were able to carry, said police. On Tuesday morning, police report that five burglars broke in and stole merchandise. In Tuesday’s incident, a nearby Moose Knuckles location on East Walton Street was also robbed in a similar fashion.

It’s unclear if the incidents are related.
