Four in custody over $350000 clothing warehouse heist

Boston police captured four men in the act of stealing about $350,000 in men’s clothing from Raymond’s department store warehouse in South Boston. An assistant buyer, Richard Sklar, 26, aided the plan by offering $10,000 to leave the door unlocked. Police, posing as workers, halted the theft at the loading dock as three men entered and stole roughly $150,000 worth of goods before arrests.
