Thieves have stolen over half a million dollars worth of iPhones and watch from an Apple store in California. The robbers forced through the store’s front door to gain inside during the early-morning crime, which occurred when it was closed.
The police claim that the thieves successfully stole about 100 iPhones and watches, with a combined estimated value of $500,000. The store’s CCTV cameras documented the incident on video, and the authorities are currently using the footage in their investigation.
The incident is just the most recent in a string of thefts of a similar nature that have taken place in recent years, with Apple stores increasingly being a target for thieves because of the high worth of the company’s goods. The business has taken precautions against similar thefts, such as installing reinforced glass and steel security shutters.
Apple has not yet responded to the situation, but the corporation will undoubtedly be questioned about the security of its stores and whether more needs to be done to stop thefts from happening. The police are requesting information from the public on the robbery and are pleading with anyone to come forward.
