An attempted smash-and-grab was foiled when would-be thieves couldn’t crack a pricey glass at an Apple store at the Avalon in Alpharetta last week.

Few details were available about the suspects except that several men exited a black Dodge Charger and an unknown white car about 2:30 a.m. on May 4, according to the report.

The men got away and made off with nothing, but not before firing three .45-caliber silver bullets into the store’s $30,000 wall window panes, according to a police report. The store manager told police the panes were custom made in Germany.

Police missed the men by a few minutes, but they were able to witness the attempted theft on surveillance footage.

“We then saw a male swing a sledgehammer a few times at the glass pane,” Alpharetta officer B. Noble wrote.

No other details were released. Anyone with information on the attempted robbery is asked to call police.
