Best Steal

Police say thieves staged a Hollywood-style heist to steal $26,000 worth of Apple laptop computers from a New Jersey store.

South Brunswick Police Sgt. James Ryan says the thieves climbed a gas pipe up the side of the Best Buy store and used some type of suction to lift a 3-foot-by-3-foot hole in the roof.

Ryan says the suspects lowered themselves 16 feet to the metal racks inside the store and remained about 10 feet off the ground, evading motion sensors.

The suspects used banners in the store to block themselves from security cameras.

Employees discovered the break-in when they saw debris on the floor and a hole in the roof on Wednesday.
