COMMACK, NY — In a bold afternoon grab-and-go scheme that would make social media influencers gasp, two men allegedly swiped 80 Stanley cups from a New York Dick’s Sporting Goods, making off with over three grand worth of the trendy tumblers.
The Great Stanley Snatch
The pair, who have yet to be identified, reportedly strolled into the Long Island store on February 4th just after 2 p.m., seemingly blending in with regular shoppers.
But security cameras caught what happened next – the duo allegedly walking out with armfuls of the coveted FlowState vessels, leaving store staff stunned.
A Thirst for Profit
With each Stanley “Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler” commanding between $45 and $55 at retail, the total haul reached an eye-popping $3,225.
The cups, which have achieved cult status on TikTok and Instagram, are often resold at marked-up prices online.
Hunt for the Hydration Bandits
Suffolk County Crime Stoppers isn’t taking this theft lightly. They’re dangling a cash reward for anyone who can help crack the case. Meanwhile, Dick’s Sporting Goods has kept mum on the incident, declining to comment on the water bottle walkout.
