Marc Jacobs has been the latest victim of the moped fashion raiders believed to have robbed Luella Bartley's new store last week.

The thieves smashed through the window of Marc Jacobs London store last night before making off with thousands of pounds worth of tote bags and and clutches from this season's new collection.

Police are still appealing for witnesses following this latest raid and the smash and grab robbery at Mayfair's Luella Bartley and Bora stores last week.

There are now rumours that these inccidents could also be connected to the break in at Christopher Kane's studio which left him without his entire spring/summer 08 collection just a week before London Fashion Week.

Last week police described the four raiders as being in their late teens or early 20s, wearing dark clothing and used one grey and one black coloured bike.

Detective Chief Inspector Martin Johnson, who is heading the investigation, said: "This is something that happens infrequently across the West End; we'd be foolish not to link them, based on the method employed."

Mr Johnson said: "In general it's one or two people on motorbikes or mopeds, arriving at a premises that has high-value goods such as jewellery, exclusive fashion houses, attempting to gain entry through force. Once inside they scoop up what they can and flee as quickly as possible.Usually they strike in the early morning, when very few people are around."

Police want anyone with information to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
