A group of masked thieves robbed Berlin's leading department store, KaDeWe, in the middle of the day on Saturday. The store, which is a popular tourist destination and receives over 180,000 customers a day, was ambushed in the beginning of the day in a heist that left 11 in the hospital after they inhaled tear gas.
Four armed men rushed into the store, impaired a guard with tear gas, and ran down the aisles. They shattered glass cases holding jewelry and looted them before making off in a getaway car. There is currently an ongoing manhunt for the group in Germany.
KaDeWe, according to its website, is known for its "world-famous gourmet department," as well as amenities, including on-site tailors, hairdressers, and buggy rentals.
Authorities currently don't know how much was stolen, but a police source told Deutsche Welle, "There has been some loot."
