OAK BROOK, Ill. - Oak Brook officials are reporting the Burberry store located in the Oak Brook Center Mall was robbed today in the mid-day hours and the thieves made out with thousands in merchandise.

The incident happened at approximately 11:27 a.m., at the high-end Burberry retail store located at 208 Oakbrook Center.
