On New Year’s Eve, armed burglars lifted thousands of dollars — and potentially more than $1 million — worth of merchandise from an Apple store in central Paris. The hit targeted a flagship Apple store, which carried a full array of products including iPhones, iPads and Macs. Police declined to comment on reports that put the damage at $1.32 million. The thieves were reportedly masked and escaped in a van. The burglars were “well prepared,” a member of the police union UNSA said, adding that most of the city’s police were focused on the New Year’s Eve shindig taking place at the Champs Elysees.
