Thieves in Orange County likely jammed Wi-Fi during computer store break-in

A small, family-owned computer store in Orange County is reeling after burglars break-in to their shop for the second time in two months.

In the most recent incident, thieves hit Mac Computers in Anaheim in the early morning hours of Aug. 12 and break everything they can think of in hopes of silencing the blaring alarm.

In surveillance footage of the incident, thieves can be heard drilling through the locks of a sturdy steel backdoor, then cut their way through a rolling door and a gate, but before the three masked suspects appear on the store’s cameras, the video freezes.

Melissa Delgado, who manages the store, told KTLA’s Rachel Menitoff that the burglars likely disarmed the shop’s Wi-Fi and disrupted security cameras for a short period of time.

“Usually, they don’t get this far,” Delgado explained. “It just makes us rethink what we need to do to secure the location again.”

Unfortunately, the crooks destroyed everything they could think of that might stop the blaring alarm, though ultimately, they were undeterred by the noise.
