Cyrus recently published a post about a burglary that occurred at a Seattle Apple Store earlier this month. Sunday, however, the attempt by two men to infiltrate our favorite tech company’s facility in Elk Grove, California, miserably failed.

Interestingly enough, the two men the police apprehended are ex-employees of Apple. What they planned on stealing in the building is unknown — juicy secret prototypes or a massive helping of freshly refurbished iPods, perhaps? The Sacramento Bee explains the arrest:

At 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Elk Grove detectives spotted [the suspects] cutting a hole in an exterior chain-link fence to get onto the grounds of Apple. They then tried to forcibly enter an exterior door, but were unsuccessful and ran away when detectives approached, according to a press release from the Elk Grove Police Department. Police said the pair tried to escape into a nearby creek, but were located after a search involving Elk Grove police officers, Elk Grove K-9 units and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Department’s helicopter.
