Apple apparently went through a huge loss, as a group of men managed to steal multiple MacBooks and iPhones worth thousands of dollars for a site in California.
An Apple store in Fresno inside Fashion Fair Mall was robbed in broad daylight by a group of four young hooded men when they stole 26 items worth $27,000 within a matter of seconds.
According to ABC7News, Lt. Mark Hudson of the Fresno Police Departments said that the group took ‘various iPhones, the iPhone 6, iPhone 7 and 8, and even the new iPhone X was taken in this grand theft’.

The video clearly shows four men wearing hoodies, entering the Apple Store as shoppers freeze in shock. They grab practically everything including MacBooks tethered to the display tables and ran out swiftly. As per the police and the surveillance video, the robbers never displayed any sort of weapons.
Describing the incident, Lt. Hudson said, “One customer stood by the door to prevent them from leaving but was knocked out of the way. Right now we are looking for four, or five, we believe there was a getaway driver, black males anywhere from 16 to 18 years old.”
The incident is under investigations as Lt. Hudson informed, “There are other reports, of other places, other cities in California that have had these kinds of takeover thefts. So we are looking into (this crime) being connected to other crimes, at any other Apple Stores outside of Fresno.”
