Cops are searching for a pair of high-end clothing thieves who swiped an expensive jacket from a Midwood clothing boutique this Sunday and then cooly left the store.

The suspects, a white man and woman, entered the Pink Label Clothing Boutique, at the corner of Avenue P and East 3rd Street, just before noon on Sunday and pretended to peruse the store, according to police. While the woman distracted a clerk, the man slipped a Yves Salomon mink jacket into his coat and then the pair left, police say.

The clothing store could not be immediately reached to find out the price of the jacket, though other sites list mink coats by the designer as costing upwards of $3,000.

The NYPD provided surveillance video of the suspects.

Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD’s Crime Stoppers hotline at 800-577-TIPS. The public can also submit their tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting their tips to 274637 (CRIMES) and then entering TIP577.
