Authorities are looking for seven thieves who cleaned out the perfume case at an H-E-B grocery store in Spring last week.

The robbery happened at H-E-B's Spring Market on FM 2920 and Spring Cypress about 11 p.m. on July 22, officials said.

Seven men walked into the store and went to the cosmetics counter, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. While some of the men spoke with employees to distract them, others broke into locked cases containing perfume.

They stuffed several boxes of fragrances into a container and then dashed out of the store with the pilfered perfume.

Four of the men left through the front door and the others left through a fire exit.

The store's surveillance camera recorded their images.

Anyone with information about the case is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8477 or on-line at www.crime-stoppers.org.

Tips can also be sent by text message. Text TIP610 and tips to CRIMES (274637).

Crime Stoppers will pay up to $5,000 for information that leads to the men's identification, charging or arrest.

All tipsters remain anonymous.
