Two young women stole an estimated $2,000 worth of goods from American Apparel on Sunday night, before escaping into a black vehicle and driving away.

The store manager reported that the women entered the store, 950 Church St., at about 7 p.m., pulling about 30 items off the racks, each worth about $70, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. After about 20 minutes, the two women, who the manager said looked between ages 18 and 22, ran out of the store into a black four-door vehicle, Dugan said.

Evanston police officers were dispatched to the store after the women fled.

The women have not been identified, but the store caught them on video surveillance, Dugan said. The car was last seen headed eastbound on Church Street, he said.
