Determined Burglars Hit New Jersey Store

Police in Woodcliff Lake (NJ) responded to a 3 a.m. burglary alarm at the Tice’s Corner Apple store on June 17th, and arrested three men they found after a search. Officers arrived to find that the suspects had entered an empty furniture store next to Apple’s space, and had used pry bars, sledgehammers, saws and other tools to smash through the wall so they could enter the store. Several duffle bags had been filled with Apple products, police said, before an alarm at the store sounded, apparently sending the suspects fleeing. Two men were arrested in a nearby car, and a third was tracked to a storm drain by police canine unit. Police believe there was a fourth suspect and are trying to identify him. They are also investigating if the suspects are linked to a previous jewelry store burglary that was similarly entered. The Apple store was closed the day of the burglary so the wall could be repaired.
