Three men broke into an Apple campus building in Cupertino this morning, prompting Silicon Valley law enforcement to conduct a huge manhunt for the burglars.

Sheriff’s deputies and police officers went door to door through the Cambrian Park neighborhood of San Jose in an effort to find the suspects, who were spotted by Apple security breaking a glass door of the building in the early morning hours.

Police chased the thieves, who eventually ditched their car in San Jose. Three men were seen running out of the car, and police apprehended the driver at a nearby Starbucks.

Police have not yet released the name of the driver or supplied any motive for breaking into the building, though they did recover some MacBooks from the car.
