GARDEN GROVE, Calif. (KABC) -- Garden Grove police are searching for three men and a getaway driver suspected of stealing $8,000 worth of Apple products from a T-Mobile store.

Authorities said it happened in the 12000 block of Brookhurst Avenue around 2:45 p.m. Monday. Police received a call regarding a robbery.

When authorities arrived, they realized a snatch-and-grab burglary occurred. The suspects, described as three teenage boys, walked into the store, wandered for a few minutes and then quickly began grabbing items off displays and on tables.

The three teens fled with eight iPhones and two Apple watches, totaling about $8,000. The trio got into a black Nissan Altima in the parking lot, which was being driven by a woman in her 20s.

The first boy is described between 18 and 20 years old, with short black hair who was wearing a blank tank top, black shorts, white socks and black shoes. The second boy is described as 14 to 16 years old, with orange and black curly hair and a fat build. He was wearing a blue T-shirt, black and white striped shorts, white socks and white shoes.

The third boy is between 16 and 18 years old with black medium length hair and a fat build. He was wearing a black T-shirt, blue shorts, white socks and white shoes.

The investigation is ongoing.
