An anonymous 27-year-old man who bought 300 iPhones at Apple Fifth Avenue on Monday morning was robbed shortly after leaving the store, according to 1010Wins Radio in New York.
He was carrying 300 iPhone 13s in three bags and was heading to his car at 1:45 a.m. when another car pulled up next to him. Two men jumped up and demanded that he hand over the bags. Unwilling to hand over 300 iPhones, the victim fought back and was eventually punched in the face before the thieves made off with one of the bags.
The bag contained 125 iPhones worth $95,000. Police said the man in question often made large purchases of iPhones from the Fifth Avenue store in order to resell them through his small business. It’s unclear why he was making the purchase at 1:00 a.m., or if he was specifically targeted based on his past shopping habits.
Apple’s Fifth Avenue location is open 24 hours a day, allowing for early morning purchases. Apple also had a Black Friday sale going on at the time, which the thieves may have been aware of.
The NYPD is investigating the theft and the victim was not seriously injured. A description of the suspects and their vehicles has not yet been released.
