Police said the thieves knew the store's layout and knew exactly where they were going.
"They go right in. They hit the case. They have a cutting saw with them if they need to. In this instance, they jumped on the case until the glass popped out," said Officer Thomas Harris, of the North Huntingdon Police Department.
Police estimated the thieves were in and out of the store in under two minutes. They dumped the Apple products in a duffel bag and made their way out of the store, dragging the bag behind them, police said.
Harris said the thieves got away with over $10,000 worth of products.
Police said this is one of six break-ins where Target stores were hit across the eastern side of the United States, from New Jersey to Massachusetts.
