Somerville cellphone store robbed twice in recent weeks

A Somerville cellphone store says it was robbed twice this month, most recently on Sunday, August 23, when a person in a winter jacket walked in and fled with a phone. In an earlier incident, someone filled a bag with $10,000 worth of iPhones and iPads before leaving the store. Owner Nabin Basnet, who says the losses are hard for his small business to absorb, has reported both incidents to police.
