CHICAGO (WLS) -- A suburban woman says two men stole her professional video camera outside the Trump Tower in the Loop.

It happened on Tuesday just after 6 p.m. Yasmeen Haleem of Orland Park was working on a video shoot.

Haleem says two guys ran up behind her, knocked her down and stole her Canon video camera, which is worth over $2,500.

"I was pushed from behind and two guys took off with my camera and equipment. Everything on there I lost from that day as well as invaluable footage from a recent trip in Ohio covering the 2016 Transplant Games," she said.

The suspects were seen in an image from the photoshoot just before the theft.
