Bad Apples: Young biker gang arrested in Apple Store burglary

Just days after Mr Jobs’s sad passing, Covent Garden employees arrived at work on the morning of 9 October to find that their shop had been plundered overnight by a gang of bikers. Tributes and memorials have been placed at Apple Stores all over the world in honour of the man who changed the face of personal computing. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, kind words, flowers and photographs were not the only things that employees at the Covent Garden Apple Store found. According to reports, police officers were alerted to the fact that a gang of seven moped riders and motorcyclists – most carrying pillion passengers – had smashed the storefront glass and “made off with fondleslabs and other similar devices.” All is not bad news, however. According to Channel Register , two suspects were apprehended at the time and have subsequently been charged with the Apple Store burglary. Additionally, a Met spokesman said it is understood the pair is connected to a wider gang of young burglars between the ages of 16 and 26 who are suspected in a spate of robberies across London. “Between 13 and 25 October, officers from Westminster executed a number of search warrants in connection with 48 burglaries of retail premises in central London and the theft of 35 high-powered motorcycles,” he said
