Group Of Teens Rob Same Brooklyn Apple Store Twice: Cops

FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN — A group of five teens managed to walk out of the same Apple store twice without paying for Apple watches, police said. Police are now searching for them for grand larceny charges.

The group of boys first came into the Apple store at 123 Flatbush Avenue on Sunday, Dec. 30. They walked in around 3 p.m. and took three Apple watches with them before fleeing, police said.

Then, a few weeks later, the boys returned on Sunday, Jan. 13. They came into the same Flatbush Avenue store around the same time — 3:35 p.m. — and took seven Apple watches without paying.

Police did not say exactly how the thieves took the watches undetected out of the store, which is made nearly completely out of glass panels.

The Flatbush Avenue Apple store opened just over a year ago and is Brooklyn's second outpost of the tech chain. It is located inside the 300 Ashland development with an address of 123 Flatbush Avenue.

Police said one of the teens is wearing a cast on his right foot.
