Apple Store Burglars Drive Through Storefront, Leave License Plate at the Scene
An Apple Store sustained "extensive damage" after burglars broke in by driving through the front of the building. A security camera caught the whole thing on tape.
Police arrested a suspect for the Sept. 6 burglary of the Apple Store located in Temecula, California in which the burglars drove a BMW SUV through the glass storefront and a metal security gate, according to the
North County Times.
The burglary happened around 5 a.m.
Store security cameras recorded the incident in which the vehicle can be seen crashing through the front of the store. Someone from the passenger seat jumps out of the vehicle and starts scavenging any nearby iPods, iPhones, iPads and other devices.
The passenger then jumps back into the car after grabbing everything they could as the driver attempts to exit the store, but the vehicle could not back out through the damaged security gate. The driver had to ram through it three times in reverse in order to escape and flee the scene.

Police said in
an earlier report that one of the vehicle's license plates fell off during the crash and gave police the vehicle owner's identity. Information obtained from the license plate led to their most recent arrest. A Temecula police lieutenant said investigators believe more suspects are "possibly involved."
