TEWKSBURY, Mass. — Tewksbury Police is investigating the theft of almost $6,000 worth of electronics from a local cell phone store, according to authorities.
On Monday, Dec. 26, just after 7:30 p.m., police responded to T-Mobile on Main Street for a report of a theft in progress. An employee from the store told responding officers that the suspect entered the store, declined an offer of assistance from employees, and then grabbed four iPhones and four Apple Watches before fleeing to the parking lot.
The estimated value of the phones and watches is $5,929.
Responding officers searched the area around the store and checked video surveillance but they were unable to locate the suspect.
