Entry required slipping into mall first
(Updated with correct location description) The University Towne Center Apple Store in San Diego, California was hit by a robbery early Thursday morning, a local TV station reports. Around 4:20AM two men smashed through the glass front doors of the store, and proceeded to take a dozen iPhones out of a display case. Both men were wearing jeans and hoodies, say police, while one was carrying a red duffel bag.
The break-in was recorded on camera, but no suspects are reported to have been arrested so far. The Apple Store was also specifically targeted, which may raise a red flag for the company. It has, on the other hand, been subject to other narrowly-aimed burglaries in the past.

"An unusual aspect of the case is that the robbers would have to have slipped into the UTC mall first, suggesting problems with the building's overall security."
It's an outdoor mall... There's no building to break into.
