As the world celebrated the New Year, masked men forced their way into an Apple (AAPL) retail store in Paris and made off with an estimated $1.32 million worth of iPads, iPhones and Macs, according to The Wall Street Journal. The suspects are said to have broken in through an employee entrance, slightly injuring a cleaner and a security guard. Apple products have been a hot commodity for thieves this year. In November, more than $1.5 million worth of iPad minis were stolen from a cargo building at John F. Kennedy airport, however the perpetrators were later arrested. The Apple Store heist is currently being investigated by French authorities.
