DAYLIGHT ROBBERY: Bottega Veneta store on Chicago's Magnificent Mile is ransacked by robbers for the SECOND time in three weeks after left-wing AG stopped prosecuting shoplifters who steal less than $1,000

Video footage captured the moment the Bottega Veneta store on Chicago's Magnificent Mile being robbed for the second time in three weeks - after the city's AG stopped pursuing shoplifters who steal less than $1,000.

One robber was seen letting his pal into the Italian designer store, scaring a terrified shop assistant in the process, before they began clearing its shelves of luxury leather goods, which retail for up to $6,200.

The thieves had left the scene with luxury merchandise that cost tens of thousands of dollars, exactly 21 days after a prior robbery saw 35 bags lifted on September 20.

The increase in shoplifting crimes came after State's Attorney Kim Foxx stopped prosecuting thieves who stole less than $1,000.

The recent October 11 video began with a female employee walking around a section of the store on her phone as the red hooded male suspect entered the scene behind her.

The red hooded suspect then walked around the corner to what appeared to be the back door of the store.

The employee is then seen suspiciously walking around the same corner.

The male suspect then abruptly pushes the employee out of the way as another rushes into the store sporting a black hoodie.

The distraught female employee follows the black hooded suspect as the other thief begins to collect at least six purses off the display cases.

The footage cuts back to the black hooded suspect stealing the purses in another section of the store as the frightened employee looks on.

Both suspects are seen abruptly leaving the scene with an armful of purses in hand.

Police have not identified the suspects in the video but are looking further into the incident.

The previous theft at the location occurred on September 20 as 12 men had raided the store stealing 35 handbags.

The rise in shoplifting crimes have been plaguing the Windy City over the course of the past couple of months as other luxury stores have also shared similar incidents.

Earlier this month, a group of seven to eight shoplifters were seen leaving a Bloomingdale's in suburban Chicago with an armful of expensive purses.

A Louis Vuitton store was also raided by purse snatching shoplifters in Northbrook Court in the North Shore of Chicago.

Chicago is the latest city to be hit by rampant shoplifting and its Magnificent Mile, the once highly-populated retail destination, is now dotted with empty storefronts as businesses are being driven away by the brazen thieves.

The city's crime spiral is set to intensify as more than a third of Chicago's 13,000 cops refused to report their COVID vaccine status by a deadline set for last week, now putting them on track for dismissal.

Chicago's largest union has asked its members to flood the city with exemptions, and is effectively daring Mayor Lori Lightfoot to fire them, after continued outrage over appalling crime figures.

Shoplifter were emboldened following a December 2016 motion from State's Attorney Kim Foxx that mandated Chicago prosecutors only issue felony charges for theft of property over $1,000.

Her officer said at the time that the move was meant to shift focus to the driving factors of the crimes instead of low-level offenses. In turn, however, thieves know they can grab armfuls of merchandise without being stopped by store security.

Chicago's most recent shoplifting spree involved a group of men who robbed three 7-Eleven convenience stores downtown in a span of 30 minutes on Monday morning.
