Migrant teens busted in heist of designer duds from NYC Macy’s store: sources

Two migrant teens were bu꧙sted for swiping thousands of dollars in designer duds from a downtown Brooklyn Macy’s late Wꦚednesday, law enforcement sources said. 

Alan Bello, 18, and a 𒊎17-year-old boy whose name has not been released scooped up a stash of name-brand clothing during the heist at the Fulton Street department store just after 9 p.m., cops said. 

They tried to leave with the stolen goods – worth about $2,421 – before a worker stopped them in their 🏅tracks, police and sources said.

Cops responded and arrested both teens on the scene, charꦫging them wit༺h grand larceny, police said. 

They are known to be migrants, source✨s said, though their country of origin was not immediately known.

It was also unclear whether t𒁏he pair had been previously arrested in the Big Apple.

In a similar case this past spring, Venezuelan migrant Brian Castillos, 22, was nabbed for trying to steal 𝄹$299 in goods from the same Macy’s, according to that crimiꦺnal complaint.

He has also been busted this year for allegedly using a stolen credit card at a Manhattan NBA store, and snatching a woman’s neck♒lace in a Hell’s Kitchen sidewalk heist, according to those complaints.
