Brazen masked thieves broke into a luxury hotel and stole designer handbags worth at least $1.8 million in an overnight raid.
Newly released security footage from the Maison Wrist Aficionado store inside the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach showed two thieves breaking in on March 22.
First they pulled up outside in a work truck and broke the lock on the door, then they grabbed two green plastic trash cans and ran inside.
Cameras captured them grabbing everything in sight, including 60 Hermès Birkin bags valued between $20,000 and $35 each, and piling them into bins.

Eduardo Travieso Garcia, 45, was arrested March 22 on charges including grand larceny and undercover robbery.
When the store was completely looted in just a few minutes, they fled outside: one in the SUV and another in an orange Hyundai Santa Fe, police said.
Police were called around 3 a.m. and arrived to find the store empty and the shoplifters missing, according to the arrest report.
Detectives said the Ford E-250 work truck with the PSG Construction logo was stolen and the Hyundai was suspected of being involved in another jewelry robbery in Hillsborough County earlier this month.
Recently released security footage from the Maison Wrist Aficionado store inside the Setai Hotel in Miami Beach showed two shoplifters stacking the bags into green bins.
Cameras captured them grabbing everything in sight, including 60 Hermès Birkin bags valued between $20,000 and $35 each, and piling them into bins.
It took police only a few hours to locate the car and its owner Eduardo Travieso García, who allegedly confessed to the entire crime.
He was charged with undercover robbery, grand theft over $100,000 and unlawful use of a communication device.
Garcia, 45, locked up at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center with bail set at $100,000.
Police have not released any details about the second robber.
