  • A man purchased 300 iPhones from the Apple Store on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue.
  • The man was robbed and beaten shortly after leaving the store.
  • Close to half of the purchased phones were taken from the man.

When the sun goes down, it’s not exactly safe to be walking around with expensive items, especially in big cities like New York. A man, unfortunately, learned that the hard way after having $95,000 worth of iPhones taken from him.

According to Audacity, the New York Police Department reported a robbery that happened early in the morning. The robbery appears to have involved a 27-year-old man who was targeted after leaving the Apple Store on Manhattan’s Fifth Avenue.
