Thieves chew through security cables at Madrid Apple Stores


Apparently a group in Romanias have stolen over $24,000 in demo products from a Madrid Apple Store. The thefts took place over a period time in a coordinated effort.

The capers were reportedly well-organized, as the suspects dispersed in a "joint, planned and distributed manner throughout the establishment." According to camera footage, one of the thieves bit through the security tether until the iPhone was freed. The device was then passed along various members of the group -- to make it harder for the staff to keep track of the stolen iPhone -- until the thieves could finally remove it from the store.

The scheme reportedly broke down when a member was caught attempting to sell stolen products.
