(CNN) -- Looters in New York City were able to tear through some of the most expensive, high-end stores in the city because of an intelligence failure, according to a high-ranking police official. The coordinated effort of looters to target the Manhattan neighborhood of SoHo without the police department's knowledge points to something the NYPD missed, said John Miller, the NYPD's chief of counterterrorism and intelligence. "On the looting, that's an intelligence failure," Miller said at a briefing on Saturday. The looting extended further south into Herald Square, where looters were even able to penetrate the iconic Macy's building, with officers dragging looters out of the store late into the night. Looters break the windows and they were never interested in marching in the first place, Miller said.
