So much for discretion. A group of eager thieves staged a not-so-subtle grab-and-go robbery at an Apple store in California.

Surveillance video uploaded to YouTube shows a driver crashing a BMW SUV right through the front of an Apple store in Temecula. Several men hop out of the SUV and grab as many iPads, lap tops, iPhones and iPods as they can get. The thieves are in the store for less than a minute before they back out again and drive away.

According to the user who uploaded the video, the alleged driver, Equonne R. Howard, 22, pleaded not guilty on Wednesday. He told the court he believes there is no evidence against him.

Howard is charged with vandalism, burglary and theft of electronics in connection with the break-in. Prosecutors say he also robbed a 7-Elevan later in the day.
