JENSEN BEACH, Fla. (WJW) – Authorities in Florida are searching for suspects who investigators say pulled off an elaborate heist to steal thousands of dollars in shoes from a Martin County mall this week.

The thieves reportedly cut through Treasure Coast Mall's concrete roof before dropping into a Champs Sporting Goods location sometime between midnight and 8 a.m. on Tuesday, according to the Martin County Sheriff's Office. Investigators said the suspects stole hundreds of pairs of Nike shoes, bagged them and loaded up a getaway vehicle parked outside before leaving the scene.

The sheriff's office shared photos from the scene, showing the square-shaped hole in the roof and several black trash bags and shoe boxes left behind. • Courtesy of Martin County Sheriff's Office • Courtesy of
