Saw this on twitter. Apparently the Sloane St store was robbed last night and approx 50K worth of stock taken. Article mentions SPECTRE sweaters also

EDIT: £50,000 at £200 a pop means they took 250 of the SPECTRE sweaters, if in stock. If it was other items, then who knows.
I suppose we'll see loads on eBay next week...
Intruders smashed through the glass front door of the luxury cashmere store N. Peal clearing several wardrobes of stock.
The store said an alarm sounded but police did not arrive in time.
Adam Holdsworth, the store’s managing director, said : “They knew exactly what they were coming for and had targeted our most expensive cashmere knitwear and fur garments.”
No-one was hurt during the incident last night.

The store before it was targeted by raiders
The raid comes after it was revealed that £200 cashmere N. Peal sweaters feature in the upcoming Spectre James Bond film.
A Met spokeswoman said : “Police were called at about 12.30am last night to a shop in Sloane Street following an alarm activation.
“Officers arrived on scene and found that the front door to the shop had been damaged.
“It is believed the suspects have then entered the shop and removed a quantity of clothing before making off.
“Detectives from Kensington and Chelsea CID are investigating. There have been no arrests at this time."
It sounds like that's what this is, not a robbery. Commercial refers to this being a commercial establishment rather than a residence.
Maximum 14 years imprisonment for dwelling, 7 for commercial, so pays to steal from a shop if your that way inclined!!
Chance is they will pop up on allegro.pl, I'll keep you posted. If a lot of N.Peal sweaters will suddently show up (I have never seen even one brand new on allegro) maybe there will be a chance to catch the thiefs. However they might go to China as well to be used as templates for fakes.

Might be worth pursuing as fur was targeted!! Maybe you will get all the 007 goodies as a reward!!
Bugger, now I see in the description that the owner has the bill... She bought it in the London Boutique. So I guess I just encountered one Polish lady with too much money!
I don't endorse crime in any form, but who sells real fur coats in the 21st century? They got what they deserved, "luxury goods", my arse...
