Apple's Paris store loses $1.6 million of stock after armed raid
Apple’s swanky flagship store in Paris was attacked on New Year’s Eve by an armed gang that injured a member of staff before making off with a reported £1 million ($1.6 million) of smartphones, tablets and laptops.
The raid happened after-hours on December 31 at around 9 p.m. local time as large crowds assembled on the nearby Champs-Élysées for New Year celebrations, a moment police believe was chosen to mask the robbery.
One member of the store’s sales team was injured as four robbers loaded the store’s stock into waiting vans before leaving the scene.
“They were well prepared,” said police union spokesperson, Christophe Crepin in a translated statement. “As the majority of police were busy watching the Champs Elysees, the robbers took advantage of this opportunity.”
