Five teens face charges after a brazen theft of 50 phones from an Apple Store in Brent Cross, raising concerns about retail security.
London: So, here’s the scoop. Five teenage boys got themselves into some serious trouble after they swiped about 50 mobile phones from the Apple Store at Brent Cross. Can you believe it?
The whole thing went down on a Sunday afternoon. The Met Police got a call around 2:35 PM about a group of kids rushing into the store and making off with a bunch of phones. Talk about a wild shopping spree!
Luckily, the police were quick on the scene and managed to arrest six people. Most of the stolen phones were recovered, which is a relief. It’s always good to see some justice served.
One of the boys, 18-year-old Mycah Omo-Idahosa from Lambeth, is set to appear in court on Tuesday. He’s not alone, though. Two 15-year-olds from Lambeth, a 14-year-old from Croydon, and a 16-year-old from Cambridge are also facing charges. They’ll all be in court on the same day.
For legal reasons, we can’t name the boys, but it’s a pretty big deal. Another 15-year-old who was arrested has been released on bail while the investigation continues. Just goes to show, crime doesn’t pay!
