Talk about smash hits.
A photogenic and fashionably dressed woman walked into Drake’s luxe clothing store in the trendy Noho neighborhood of Manhattan on Tuesday and went on a rampage with a hammer, doing more than $23,000 worth of damage according to police.
We’re told that cops have arrested a 31-year-old Queens woman, Shauna Stoner, on suspicion of criminal mischief and arson.

Sources close to the store say that the woman appears to have no connection to the store. “[She’s] a total random,” an insider told Page Six.
In video shot by paparazzi and posted by TMZ, Stoner seems to say as she’s being led away by police: “It was just to cut up his clothes that he stole. My designs!”
The woman came into October’s Very Own — the flagship store of the rapper’s clothing line, which launched in 2011 — at around 4.35pm wearing a denim jacket and leather pants and carrying a bag with the Telfar logo on it, and began spraying the pricey merchandise with what appeared to be spraypaint.
She turned over racks of clothing and tore items off hangers before taking a hammer from the bag and smashing windows around the store. She also pulled what appeared to be a knife from the bag.

The alleged perp doesn’t appear to have attempted to take any clothing.
She left of her own accord and began walking north up the Bowery.
But store staff, who kept their distance from the attacker, called the cops, and by 4.19pm she was arrested a block away on Great Jones Street.
By the time she was arrested, Stoner had lost her jacket and was wearing only a black bra.
It’s unclear from the police report why arson was part of the rap.
