$500K In Apple Products Stolen From Alderwood Mall: Police

LYNNWOOD, WA — Lynnwood detectives are investigating after thieves made off with a half-million dollars in Apple products from the Alderwood Mall over the weekend, officials announced Wednesday.

Police said the thieves breached an Apple store sometime between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Sunday night. When employees clocked in the next morning, they discovered an entire wall of iPhones had disappeared. The store said 436 phones were taken, valued at approximately $500,000.

No arrests have been made in the case, and law enforcement has not shared a description of the suspects.

A manager at a neighboring coffee shop told KING 5 News that the thieves successfully bypassed the Apple store's security system by cutting a hole in their bathroom wall, indicating those responsible were intimately very familiar with the mall.

"I would have never suspected we were adjacent to the Apple store, how it wraps around I mean," he told the station. "So, someone really had to think it out and have access to the mall layout."
