Hialeah Police are searching for four people seen on surveillance video rummaging through a Hialeah Macy's and taking off with about half a million dollars in goods.
Police said the thieves forced a back door open before 5 a.m. Saturday morning at the Macy’s located at 1777 West 49th Street.
They said not only was the inside in disarray, but the masked criminals — who wore hoodies and hats over their heads, masks covering their face and gloves — broke into glass casings.

Surveillance video shows them walking around at times and other times running through the store. They use dollies to roll out huge boxes, and at one point, some of them look directly into a surveillance camera.
When they were done, police said they stole about $500,000 of jewelry, cologne and perfumes.
Police said the thieves may try to sell these items for Valentine's Day.
