Two people were being held on suspicion of burglary today following a smash-and-grab at the Apple Store in London's Covent Garden, Scotland Yard said.
The attack came just days after the shop was turned into an impromptu memorial to Apple founder Steve Jobs, who died on Wednesday.
Police were called at around 1am after one of the store's windows was smashed and a haul of Apple devices, including valuable iPads, was stolen.
It is believed around seven masked raiders riding mopeds and motorcycles were involved in the incident.
All suspects were wearing crash helmets and most, if not all of the motorbikes were carrying a pillion passenger, the Met said.
Shortly after the incident, officers in Islington spotted a moped believed to be involved with the raid and unsuccessfully attempted to stop it.
It was then found abandoned near Angel tube station, and police saw two men inside the nearby block of flats.
After chasing after them on foot, police caught the pair and found gadgets believed to have been stolen from the store in their bags.
A 16-year-old boy and 21-year-old man were arrested at the scene on suspicion of burglary.
Both suspects are in custody at a north London police station.
DS Nathan Tozer of Westminster CID said: 'Although two men are in custody on suspicion of burglary, the inquiry continues and other persons are sought.
'It is essential that anyone who saw the smash-and-grab, or the suspects making off, contact us as soon as possible.'
Police do not yet know the combined value of the merchandise stolen from the store but believe it could run into thousands of pounds.The Apple Store was the focus of tributes to Steve Jobs, the visionary Apple CEO who has died aged 56 after a long battle with cancer.
Well-wishers left flowers, apples and even their valuable Apple devices in memory of Mr Jobs.
This morning's raid is similar to a spate of attacks on expensive West End shops which have taken place over the last few years, often involving motorcycle gangs.
