They rob an Apple Store in Valencia and another in Valladolid hours apart
According to the information published in the Valladolid newspaperthe video surveillance cameras attest that it was a gang of a dozen members, which made it easy for them to In less than five minutes they obtained several iPhones, Macs and iPads from the official Apple store.
The thieves, apparently familiar with the routines of the shopping center and the store, carefully chose the moment of the assault: 5:40 in the morning, when surveillance was minimal and the cleaning employees were the only ones present. Besides, It is believed that they had inside information about the reduction of security personnel at the shopping centerwhich made it easier for them to access the store.
The thieves They used at least two cars to escape the scenewhile other members of the group stayed nearby to monitor and facilitate the escape.
The authorities are investigating all possible leads, but one of the strongest hypotheses is that those responsible could belong to an organized gang specialized in robberies in shopping centers, known as “the BMW gang”, which has a history of robberies in the shopping and other places in the city. The investigation continues and it is expected that new evidence will allow the perpetrators of this spectacular coup to be identified.
In Valencia, the theft of 100 devices at the Apple Store keeps the authorities on alert. The National and Local Police of Valencia responded quickly to a robbery alarm on Colón Street, which occurred shortly before four in the morning. The criminals managed to escape in an Audi A6 and another high-end car, but they have not been captured.
Unlike the case of Valladolid, This is the fourth time that the Apple store on Colón Street has suffered a criminal incident in recent years. On January 13, 2022, a group of hooded thieves ransacked the establishment, stealing several devices. On July 23, 2018, it suffered a robbery using the moon landing method and in the early morning of December 12, 2017, another robbery occurred.
A successful robbery?
At least in the case of the Apple Store in Valladolid, the information alleges that the criminals took possession of everything they found on the store’s displays. But, for a few years now, Apple has implemented a security system on the products displayed in an Apple Store to prevent them, whether they are iPhone, iPad or Mac, from blocking them when they leave the store and turning them into real paperweights. .
According to the above, Apple is capable of locating them and reporting the theft of these devices to the police and trying to find them. However, more information in this regard has not yet been released.
