A car crashed through a Chanel store on Newbury Street in Boston Friday morning. Merchandise was stolen from the store.

The Nissan crashed into the building at 6 Newbury Street around 4:30 a.m. Boston police found the car completely inside the store and a tow truck removed it after 6 a.m. The Boston Fire Department was on scene Friday morning to assess "significant" structural damage, authorities said.

Police say a car crashed through the front door of a Newbury Street store, leading to thousands of dollars in high-end goods being stolen.

At least two suspects were seen fleeing the store with items, then fled the scene in a waiting vehicle. There are surveillance cameras in the area, including one in the Chanel store, so it is possible there is video of the crash-and-grab.

No injuries were reported and no arrests have been made. The incident remains under investigation. No further information was immediately available.
