Their scheme was so last season!

Three thieves were busted on a shoplifting spree in Soho Friday — just six months after cops set up a command center to stop theft a block away, police said.

Cops said they caught the crooks hiding in the Yves Saint Laurent store at Greene and Spring streets at about 4 p.m.

As officers were cuffing two suspects, the third tried to flee, witnesses said.

Video taken by a shopper shows the desperate thief bolting with a Versus Versace bag full of loot ­before cops tackled him, all as shocked shoppers look on.

“It was chaos. Total madness. Like the Wild West with tourists walking around,” one shocked witness told The Post.

The identities of the three ­suspects were not immediately ­released.

Burglaries spiked 50 percent in Soho last year, police said in January. Among the stores hit yesterday were Versus Versace and Nixon Watches.
