Le Great Apple Robbery

A well-planned armed robbery of a Paris Apple store resulted in the loss of goods valued at approximately 1 million euros.

According to police, four masked men forced their way into the store on New Years Eve around 9PM Paris Time. The store had closed 3 hours earlier and the men threatened a guard at the back entrance. Police were concentrated elsewhere to focus on New Years celebrations.
