Four masked people broke into the Apple The Woodlands store in Texas on Monday, August 29, and made off with hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of brand-new merchandise.

Unlike the recent Apple Covent Garden raid in London, the Texas raid took place before opening hours.

According to local news channel ABC 13The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office dispatched officers to the store in The Woodlands Mall around 8 a.m. local time.

Police say four suspects broke into the store. “A large amount of merchandise was stolen from the store,” the sheriff’s office said in a press release, “including more than 200 Apple Watches, more than 50 AirPods and more than 220 phones.”

“The suspects were seen leaving the scene in [a] gray four-door passenger car,” it continued.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office asks anyone with information to call them at 936-760-5800, or Crime Stoppers at 1800-392-STOP.
