FAIRVIEW, Texas — Four people allegedly robbed a North Texas Dillard’s store this weekend and threatened to shoot an employee before they fled with as many handbags as they could, police say.
Police were called to the Dillard’s store in the 100 block of Stacy Road in Fairview shortly after 11 a.m. Sunday.
Police say four people – one man and three women – went into the store via the south entrance and straight to the handbag section, where three of them cut the security cables on the bags while the fourth kept watch for employees.
When an employee asked if they needed help, one of the suspects told the employee not to approach or touch them or they would shoot the employee, police say.
The suspects took as many bags as they could before they fled, leaving the store in a white Honda Accord heading toward Stacy Road, police say.
The Accord may have Louisiana paper plates, police say.
Police say the same four people are believed to be involved in other thefts/robberies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Fairview police say they’re working with other agencies in the investigation, but declined to release more information as the investigation continues. WFAA will update this story as additional information becomes available.
