California police are looking for four men who ran into a crowded Apple store in Fashion Fair Mall in Fresno and started grabbing as many devices as they could before escaping through the crowd. The four young men, dressed in sweatpants and hoodies, managed to snag over $27,000 worth of iPhones, laptops, and tablets, during the brazen robbery.

As the men started ripping devices off of the table, stunned customers could only watch as they ransacked the store in less than one minute. One brave customer tried to block the door but the thieves pushed him out of the way as they exited the busy store

Police released the surveillance video in hopes of identifying the culprits. Lieutenant Mark Hudson of the Fresno Police Department said police are looking for up to five individuals who may have been involved in the robbery.

"Right now we are looking for four, or five, we believe there was a getaway driver, black males anywhere from 16 to 18 years old."

He said that investigators are attempting to see if the crime is related to similar ones in California.

"There are other reports, of other places, other cities in California that have had these kinds of takeover thefts," said Lt. Hudson. "So we are looking into (this crime) being connected to other crimes, at any other Apple Stores outside of Fresno."
