POLICE have arrested nine suspects after a raid at an Apple store in Hampshire.
It comes after three men reportedly attacked a security guard at the Apple store in Basingstoke before making off with a number of iPhones.
It's thought that more than £8,000 worth of goods were stolen.
The raid sparked a police hunt involving a helicopter and officers on the ground.
Police say nine people have now been arrested.
