U.K Apple Stores have reportedly removed their inventory for the night as a precautionary measure to protect against riots that have spread across the country, reports 9to5Mac.
We're getting images in from around the UK of Apple Stores having removed their inventory after closing of business. The concern is the ongoing riots that have plagued London and now the greater UK for the past 3 days.
CNN reports that British Prime Minister David Cameron vows to quell rioting in Britain's cities and has ordered 16,000 officers to be on London's streets tonight.

I wonder if the rioters have been listening to the song "Riot" in the album "One X" by "Three Days Grace"...

i think you will find it is only the apple stores in England as there have been no rioting in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales.

It is a precautionary measure to close the other apple stores in case people of the other countries get to rioting... Don't think your smart and disagree with something until you think about it...
