Police in two Peninsula cities are investigating separate robberies that happened over the weekend at two locations of the same Bay Area electronics chain.
The first burglary was reported at a TechLoop store at 1419 Burlingame Ave. in Burlingame, sometime between Friday night and early Saturday morning, according to Burlingame police Lt. Jay Kiely.
Suspects apparently broke into the store and were able to make off with about $5,000 in Apple computer equipment as well as an undisclosed amount of cash, Kiely said.
Another burglary was then reported early Sunday morning at a TechLoop store in Menlo Park, according to Menlo Park police spokeswoman Nicole Acker.
That burglary occurred around 3:50 a.m. at the TechLoop at 708 Santa Cruz Ave., Acker said.
Suspects entered the store by breaking the front glass window. They then took four desktop computers, four iPads and four iPhones. The total value of the items taken from that store is about $8,000, according to Acker.
TechLoop is a Bay Area chain that sells new and used electronics and has multiple store locations throughout the Peninsula, according to its website.
Both the Menlo Park and Burlingame police departments are continuing to investigate the burglaries.
