On April 6, thieves struck the Men's Wearhouse store in Northridge, taking 350 suits and jackets worth $105,000. That store was hit about a month before that, Clark said.

Also hit was The Gap in Tarzana and A La Popcorn, a children's clothing store in Woodland Hills, both on Ventura Boulevard.

Harris & Frank Clearance Outlet store officials said they are improving security. ``We're going to make it like a fortress in here,'' Blisten said.
