More than 400 iPhones worth $500,000 stolen from an Apple Store in Washington through a hole in the wall
An official Apple shop in Washington was robbed. The thieves were able to steal several hundred iPhones through a hole in the wall.
Here's What We Know
The intruders made a hole in the wall by entering the cafe, which is adjacent to the Apple Store. Through it, they gained access to the back room of the Cupertino-based company's shop. Apparently, the security system was not designed for such "manoeuvres" of the thieves.
As a result, the burglars were able to steal 436 smartphones of different versions of iPhones worth approximately $500,000. The manager of the cafe said he didn't even know his establishment shared a wall with an Apple Store. He said the attackers may have had a plan of the mall, as visually the proximity of the cafe and the shop is difficult to guess.
Good morning Twitter fans! Yesterday was a weird day...

1. Two men broke into one of our retail locations. Why? To cut a hole in our bathroom wall to access the Apple Store next door and steal $500k worth of Iphones????

Police have already launched an investigation. It has obtained CCTV footage. The intruders didn't steal anything from the cafe, but it will cost about $1500 to replace the locks and make repairs.
