Their investigation revealed that at approximately 2:50 a.m., unidentified suspects cut a hole in the roof of the store. Suspects put a 24’ foot ladder through the hole in the roof and climbed down into the store. After the suspects entered the store, they cut open a caged area in the warehouse containing various Apple brand products.
