Six teenage boys remain in custody a day after a group stormed into the Apple Store in Brent Cross and stole “a large number of mobile phones”.
Police were called at around 2.35pm on Sunday to reports that a group had entered the shop in the shopping centre before stealing the devices.
Footage of the incident appears to show a group with their hoods up pushing past a security guard as frightened shoppers run out of the shop.
The group are then seen sprinting from the shop holding a number of mobile phones.
