Police arrested a suspect Wednesday after a brazen theft inside an Apple Store in Berkeley, California, where shocked customers watched the scene unfold.

Detectives with the Emeryville Police Department took Tyler Mims into custody, Fox Business reported Thursday.

Video footage shows the suspect, wearing all black and a pair of red shoes, allegedly grabbing items inside the store and ripping their cords out of the display tables. The store’s alarm is heard, and people are seen watching from a distance.

> I really don’t understand why so many blacks feel it’s simply their right to go into a store and take whatever they want… <

I suppose you are aware of the phone scammers based in India. They cold-call folks in the West, and try to cheat them out of hundreds if not thousands of dollars.

I once read an interview of one of those scammers. He was asked if he felt guilty for what he was doing. “Not at all,” he said. “I am poor, through no fault of my own. Everyone I call is richer than me. But they won’t share. So I make them share.”

I suppose these store thieves have the exact same attitude.

Let’s see. Phones won’t work. Merchandise is insured. The rest of the customers pay. Other retailers watch their insurance rates go up-dilute the damage.

Business decision on the merchant.

There should be a law that, after criminal(s) steal $10,000 worth of merchandise, allows store employees or others to shoot them dead, with a reward of $1,000/criminal.

And the guy watching him just puts his hands in his pocket and does nothing. He was clearly bigger than that punk. I would have kicked his ass into the next county.

So this IDIOT grabs 49 NEW iPhones and none of them will ever be useable.

And they aren’t even complete ! No Chargers, paperwork or accessories.

Street value is probably $200-400 IF THAT MUCH...

Forest Gump is a Rocket Scientist compared to this guy.

“”The alarm went off and the register clerk just went over and shut it off like nothing happened””

Well, that sure took care of that!!! Probably the clerk does that a dozen or more times a day..

What’s the movie with Denzel Washington working in a HD or similar store - thief takes the diamond ring of a cashier and the next morning, her ring is back in her cash register drawer! We need that and more today! Good movie..

Hard to blame anyone for not getting involved with our poisoned culture. Anyone trying to stop a criminal is most likely to be the one ending up in jail, financially ruined, killed or fired. Or, any combination.

Ask the McMmichaels who are sitting in a Georgia Prison. The legal system protects criminals.

The robber is an idiot because Apple will turn all those devices into useless bricks with the flip of a switch.

This is Berkeley, California. The Pygmy cannibal was very likely invited in by the mayor and townspeople.

There needs to be much more looting in Berkeley. The primitive savage should get a key to the city so that he can get some of his homies and wreck destruction on all those white cracker liberal businesses. /spit

They may try to cold call me, but they get blocked virtually instantaneously. There is a call center apparently operating out of Forest Hills, Queens in NYC. I get calls from them from time to time, always the same address but slightly different numbers . Seem to be Russian or some Slavic crooks. BAM! They be blocked.
