A new Apple Store was robbed in Houston, USA, there the thieves managed to break the doors of the store using a van, then stealing the products they found at the entrance. Although a concrete pillar was mounted in front of the store to prevent the doors from being broken in with a car, the thieves managed to knock it down, and then the glass doors also fell.
Although the thieves managed to gain access to the store, they did not manage to steal too many products, because a police officer employed by Apple was standing guard inside. Working in his free time to guard that Apple Store, the policeman managed to put the thieves on the run, and to notify his colleagues, the van used in the robbery being later found by them.
Four thieves participated in this robbery, but none have been caught so far, and situations like this are not as rare as you might think. In the USA, thieves very often use cars to break the doors of Apple stores in the middle of the night and steal the products, without knowing that they are locked and cannot be activated for use.
"Houston police are looking for four masked men who drove into an Apple store early Wednesday and stole merchandise before fleeing the scene. Police said around 4:15 am, a pickup broke a concrete bollard in front of the store and smashed into the glass facade in the 4000 block of Westheimer. The four suspects jumped out, grabbed multiple Apple products and got back into the truck within about 30 seconds, police said."
