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

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 had a long history of wealthy whites highly educated and jive creep blacks bused in to learn how to learn how to be achievement oriented. The result has been that the blacks have always been completely unwilling to learn. And to be completely hateful towards the concepts of responsible behavior. Hinghan high school whites were going to have a race riot in 1969 the last day of school and the principal found out about it an cancelled the last day of class. The white kids were going to attack the “Meslo” kids from The black ghetto. Lots of hockey players from Hingham High. The Meslo Menlo kids were deliberately scum. I guess they taught their descendants how to be worthless creeps.

Wouldn’t these phones be automatically reported stolen and have their location traced as soon as they go online?
= = =

The Amish youths will appeal to the FBI to get the phones unlocked, because they are oppressed due to global warming.

My question is - Can’t these phones be disabled and made useless anyway?

You’re right! The reporter is genderist. Headline should be written...

“Teenage xes rushed into an Apple store...”

Wait! That’s agist. Do we really know they were “teenage”?

Headline needs to be rewritten again...

“Xes rushed into an Apple store...”

Hold on there! Did they really “rush”? Maybe some were differently abled and unable to rush. Back to the drawing boards...

“Xes entered an Apple store...”

Nope! That is unfair to Samsung. In fairness, they should get hit, too.

“Xes entered store...”

There! That’s more like it! Get that description out on the APB right now!

The suspect are described as black teens wearing sweatshirts with hoods on. Some of the men fled in white a car that might be a Ford Taurus with covered plates, police said. Others ran towards Kohl’s...

Attempting to blend in?

I always wondered about the Effingham, IL high school nickname. Are they the Big Effing Hammers?

Apple has the technology and the brains to stop this kind of theft. They have surveillance tapes, they have the software on the phones.

If they don’t do it, it’s because they don’t want to or they are pressured not to.

Mr. Sutton, why do you rob banks?

Because that’s where the money is.
