$20,000 worth of clothing stolen from Stoney Creek yoga studio

Hamilton police are investigating after three thieves were caught on camera stealing roughly $20,000 worth of Lululemon merchandise from a local yoga studio.

Shortly before 11:30 p.m. Saturday, the suspects broke into Moksha Yoga on Mud St. West on Stoney Creek Mountain.

The robbery was caught on a surveillance camera and shows one of the thieves using a yellow hammer to smash the glass door to gain entry into the building. The suspects can be seen making several trips in and out of the store, grabbing piles of clothing each time. The suspects appear to load the items into a nearby vehicle that police believe may have been stolen.

The studio posted the surveillance video on their Facebook page and it was shared more than 400 time before they took it down. The post read, “You all know how much we value spreading positivity and helping to make our City and everyone in it healthier and happier. We practice yoga to avoid dwelling in negativity or doing anything to spread it, so we debated whether or not to share this video of our Stoney Creek studio being robbed on Saturday night. This is the 5th time something like this has happened to MYH and we feel like enough is enough.”

Detectives say they are looking at the possibility that the same suspects were involved in previous robberies at the Mud St. location as well as other Moksha Yoga studios.

The suspects had their faces covered during the break-in but police believe all three were adult males.

Anyone with information about this robbery is asked to contact Detective Lisa Chapman at 905-546-8936 or Crime Stoppers.
