They’ve hit as many as four Apple stores in just one week. A crew of bold thieves has stolen thousands of dollars in iPhones and laptops, dashing in and dashing out of Bay Area Apple stores in mere seconds. But police have some strong leads. Surveillance video has captured all of the attacks. Jodi Hernandez reports.
Four suspects stole about $30,000 of products from an Apple store in Walnut Creek on Saturday, police said.
At about 5:40 p.m., the four entered the Apple store at 1200 S. Main St. in Broadway Plaza and ripped some iPhones and laptop computers from their security tethers and ran out of the store.
Police said the suspects got into a black Mercedes-Benz SUV with California license plate No. 5XRS835.
Police said the suspects were wearing hooded sweatshirts with the hoods cinched around their faces.
No weapons were used and no customers were injured.
This was the fourth Apple store targeted in the past week.
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call Officer Villa at (925) 943-5899, ext. 7905.
