Teenagers swarm, rob Apple store in Hingham
The Boston Globe ^ | September 6, 2016 | Olivia Quintana

Posted on 09/06/2016 4:36:53 PM PDT by Jim Noble

Teenage boys rushed into an Apple store in Hingham on Monday evening and stole more than 20 phones, police said.

Ten to 12 boys went into the store in the Derby Street Shoppes about 5:40 p.m. and stole 22 phones before fleeing, Hingham police said in a Twitter posting.

Police said the teenagers were all wearing sweatshirts with their hoods on.

Hingham Police Sergeant Steven Dearth said a witness saw some of the boys leaving in what looked like a white Ford Taurus with the license plates covered up. The witness lost sight of another group of boys once they entered the parking lot, so there may have been another vehicle involved.

Police are investigating, and waiting for the Apple store to send surveillance camera footage, Dearth said...

“Obviously, we’ve seen things where multiple people were involved,” Dearth said. “But we haven’t seen anything quite like this that’s organized with this many people. We haven’t seen anything like that, and we have a lot of retail places there.”

The incident comes several weeks after an organized group of teenagers flooded a Roslindale convenience store July 24 and began throwing and stealing merchandise.

Hingham has historically been pretty non-vibrant. What is the point of stealing iPhones? As soon as you activate it, you get arrested.

Saw a story last year where ‘yuts’ were robbing a local convenience store. The owner decided to just shut down for an hour after school let out to stop the thefts.

A local ‘activist’ said this was racist. Wound up closing down the store altogether.

Something is missing from this article about teenagers stealing phones. I can’t quite put my finger on it...

PEOPLE.

Italian? Irish? Polish? Descendants from the Mayflower? Those crazy Germans? hmm. This is a tough one.

Why are we allowed to say they are boys but not give other descriptions??

How do we know they are boys? They may appear to be male but for all we know some or all identify as female. Why doesn’t the liberal writer of this story consider that and take into account when writing the story? Isn’t it bigoted and prejudicial to just assume that a group of people with some semblance of a male appearance are really boys???

What's wrong with a little stealing? Their hero at the top of the heap and his chosen successor are both LAW BREAKERS EXTRORDINAIRE, and are obviously above the law. When the leader of the free world no longer believes in the rule of law or the US Constitution/Bill of Rights I see no reason why the rest of us should be held to a HIGHER STANDARD.

Right down the street from me.

This is disturbing, because it is a very nice area.

South of Quincy and north of Plymouth, MA

I don’t think these are black youts, the Boston Globe is far too PC to use ‘boys’ to describe youts of color.

Must be white pasty faced little jackals...

The article says they were wearing hoods. It could have been a butch lesbian gang! It is Massachusetts after all.
