11 Canada Goose coats allegedly stolen from Danvers store
“He actually took his time and snuck out when people weren’t looking or watching."
A total of 11 Canada Goose coats are missing from a North Shore men’s clothing store, and surveillance video shows a man making off with three of them early Saturday evening.Alan Gibeley, owner of Giblees, said the man, wearing a hat and long coat, was spotted on surveillance footage around 4:30 p.m. In the video, the man appears to be standing near the front of the store and looks around several times before walking out the front door.“He actually took his time and snuck out when people weren’t looking or watching,” Gibeley said. An employee did walk out of the store after him, but didn’t pursue him. “I don’t want my employees getting hurt,” Gibeley said.The coats range from $995 to $1,050, Gibeley said. The store does daily inventory and while the man allegedly had three coats during the Saturday incident, Gibeley said eight more are missing. The man has been spotted in the store before.
This is the second time the store has had Canada Goose merchandise stolen – a bunch of the coats went missing in 2017, too, Gibeley said.
Danvers police did come out and do a report, according to Gibeley. The store is 11,000 square feet and there were 11 staff members working at the time. He said there are cameras inside and outside the store, as well as at the registers. The staff tries to be aware of shoppers, and the signs to look for if someone may be trying to shoplift, but it’s difficult.
“If someone comes in, they wear you down,” Gibeley said. “You can’t stop them from looking.”
