Detectives are on the hunt for the daring masked thief who almost got away with more than a million dollars in jewelry stolen from a soon-to-be closed Macy’s store. 

According to police, the crook — while disguising himself as a security guard — got into the Downtown Brooklyn Macy’s at 422 Fulton St. just after closing time, at about 10:15 p.m. on Feb. 10. The location is one of many Macy’s locations permanently shuttering nationwide as the chain cuts operating costs.

Store staff later told officers that a masked man entered the store by unknown means, changed clothing, and concealed himself as a security guard until after the store had closed for the day.

Once the floor was empty of patrons, authorities said, he began helping himself to expensive jewelry, stuffing the exquisite items into a suitcase until the goods had totaled about $1.5 million in worth.

A store employee spotted the jewelry thief exiting to Hoyt Street and decided to follow him, police said. The worker then confronted the crook near 6 Hoyt St., causing the thief to drop the hot items and flee southbound on foot. 

No injuries were reported, and all of the stolen loot was recovered, police said. The perpetrator was last seen wearing all black, with grey gloves and a Nike hat.
