Watch: Thieves Bust Into Franklin AT&T Store From Neighboring Nail Salon
Franklin police say the burglary was highly-sophisticated, well-planned and netted the thieves tens of thousands of dollars in merchandise.

FRANKLIN, TN — A trio of burglars pried open the door to a Mallory Lane nail salon and busted through its bathroom wall to gain access to the neighboring AT&T Store and made off with tens of thousands of dollars of merchandise.
In two surveillance videos, three masked thieves can be seen breaking through walls with crowbars, allowing them to breach doors without busting locks. The trio also broke cameras and worked as a well-organized team to pull off the heist.
Franklin police said "the suspects moved with precision seen only in cases involving very experienced criminals" and stole dozens of smartphones, tablets, and other items. AT&T employees are working on a complete inventory, but the loss is estimated to be tens of thousands of dollars.
