Apple stores fall victim to smash-and-grab burglaries

Category Sci/Tech | Wednesday, December 15th, 2010

The store’s surveillance video shows five burglars smashing the front door of the store and quickly grabbing tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise before making their escape. The burglary took place around 3 a.m. early Tuesday morning.

The Greenwich Avenue store opened in November of last year. Greenwich, Conn., is an upscale town well-known for being the “hedge fund capital” of the U.S.

The store was closed Tuesday for repairs. Workers swept up broken glass while a security guard stood watch.

With their iconic glass doors and high concentration of valuable products, Apple Stores have become an easy target for smash-and-grab style burglaries. The company’s retail stores have been the victims of a rash of burglaries that have taken place in Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and now Connecticut.
