All told, the thieves managed to scoop up 20 Apple laptops, devices that tend to maintain their value when being sold in the open market.

“The tools they had to bring, the alarms they had to circumvent — it certainly required a lot of high-level planning,” Detective Ryan said. The police department said the thieves were comprised of at least 2-3 people, and that they may have been hitting other locations, as well.
