An iPhone theft in Manitoba is being investigated by the RCMP

RCMP are searching for three suspects after an estimated $70,000 iPhone was stolen from a store in Manitoba last month, which they believe is linked to similar thefts in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

According to RCMP, the incident happened on March 9 at approximately 9:30 p.m. at a business on Sissons Drive in Portage la Prairie, Man.

Mounties said two men and a woman went into the business and its electronics area. According to them, the woman distracted the employee, and the men broke into a closed cabinet and stole about 60 iPhones.

RCMP said the company didn't discover the iPhones were stolen until the next morning.

The total value of the theft is over $70,000. RCMP believe it is related to similar incidents at stores in Swift Current, Sask., Brooks, Alta. and Medicine Hat, Alta.

A photo of one of the three suspects was released. Mounties are looking for a 30-year-old man wearing a white jacket and blue baseball cap.

Police are also looking for a man in his 30s wearing a black and white baseball cap and a woman in her 30s wearing a white jacket.

Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP or Crime Stoppers.
