Apple Store in Oakridge Mall robbed by bear spray-toting thieves

Reports are stating that three men armed with bear spray walked into the Apple Store in Oakridge Mall, Vancouver last Monday and attacked 40 customers while making off with various stolen iPods, iPads and notebooks.

The suspects were said to have fled in a car. Five of the customers had to receive paramedic care from the Cayenne pepper based chemical spray which stank up the store and surrounding areas for a long time. While this is the first such incident in Canada, there have been a few forced entries and even robberies at gunpoint in other Apple Stores. The biggest one being an armed robbery in an Apple Store in Paris, France where thieves took the store for $1.3 million in products.
