Apple iPhones worth Rs 4,09,15,500 stolen from store in a dramatic movie like heist

Apple iPhones worth Rs 4,09,15,500 ($500,000) were stolen earlier this week from an Apple store in a dramatic movie style heist. We have seen several movies in which thieves make tunnels or cut through walls to steal a valuable item. In a similar fashion, thieves in Seattle stole around 436 Apple iPhones from a major Washington store. As per local news reports, the thieves were able to bypass the ‌Apple Store‌'s security system as they cut a hole in the wall to get to the backroom. To do so, the thieves went into the bathroom after breaking into Seattle Coffee Gear.

Surprisingly, the Seattle Coffee Gear is not noticeably adjacent to the ‌Apple Store ‌and it is suspected that someone involved in the heist had access to mall layout.  "I would have never suspected we were adjacent to the ‌Apple Store‌, how it wraps around I mean," Seattle Coffee Gear manager Eric Marks told King 5 News. 

"So, someone really had to think it out and have access to the mall layout." he added.

The image of the wall that the thieves cut through has been shared by the CEO of Seattle Coffee Gear on Twitter and it is now going viral. It is worth noting that nothing was stolen from the coffee shop bet the repair job will likely cost around $1500. Apple has not commented on the heist yet.
