Burglars target Gucci store at Galleria mall

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- For the third time in 8 days, a group of men tried breaking into the Gucci store inside the Galleria.

It happened around 3am this morning. Houston Police say the men work masks and drove into the Saks Fifth Avenue parking lot in a late model mini van.

A security guard spotted the would-be burglars and called for back up before the men took off.

On Monday, police believe the same group of men tried breaking into the high-end store with no luck. Last week on July 30, the thieves did break into the store, stealing about $20,000 worth of merchandise.
