It was reported that a £350,000 collection of Victoria's new spring dresses was stolen in a knife-point hijack last week. The delivery, believed to include between 50 and 75 dresses, destined for sale at Neiman Marcus in New York, had been hijacked soon after it was collected from the offices of 19 Entertainment, in west London, on Thursday.
It is believed the delivery van was followed by the thieves who struck as the van driver made a delivery. When the driver returned, the van's padlocks were broken and two men burst out of the back of the van carrying two large boxes of dresses. The driver was left shaken and bruised as he was knocked down when the men barged past.
Victoria's spokeswoman said it was hoped the spring/summer collection could be remade in time for delivery to Neiman Marcus. She said police were investigating the incident. "This operation was meticulously planned. The thieves must feel they can make a fortune selling the collection on the black market. Victoria was informed straight away about the incident and was shocked and deeply saddened, although her first priority was the well-being of the driver."
How awful!! Hopefully they find those creeps!
