Apple sacks 6 black boys because 'they might steal something'

 

Six black schoolboys were sacked from an Apple store because staff were worried "they might steal something".

The technology giant has since apologised after the incident at Melbourne's Highpoint shopping centre in Australia.

There was an outcry on social media after the video showing the schoolboys being turfed out the shop emerged on Tuesday.

In the video, a staff can be heard saying: "These guys are … just a bit worried you might steal something".

The students appeared shocked by the accusation levelled on them in the video
