UPDATE:
Police have more information and photos of two of the suspects involved in the theft of smart phones from Radio Shack.
On February 12, two suspects distracted the clerks while the black male who is pictured went to the back stock room and took a total of 69 phones. Those phones were either iPhones or Samsung Galaxy III phones.
The clerks did not realize the theft until ten minutes after the suspects left.
It was believed that the suspects were driving a large white passenger van.
A search of similar incidents found that one occurred out of Virginia and one out of Maryland with similar circumstances.
Just before the theft occurred, the suspects were in a different Radio Shack, this one in Red Lion. Nothing was taken, but the Manager found them to be suspicious.
The photographs show the black male and the white female who were involved in the three different thefts. In all, over $100,000 in cell phones, mainly iPhones, were taken.
Anyone with information is asked to contact the Northern York County Regional Police Department at 717-292-3647.

A group of people is sought by police after they distracted Radio Shack employees to steal smart phones.
The incident occurred around 1240 p.m. at the Radio Shack on Loucks Road in Manchester Township.
Employees reported that a man and woman engaged the employees in a conversation about cell phones. In the mean time, two other women lingered at the back of the store near the storage room.
At one point, one of the women entered the storage area and removed between 20 to 25 smart phones.
The woman emerged from the storage room undetected and the group left the store. Another customer alerted employees that someone was in the store area.
The group may have left in a white van.
