The devices were reportedly worth a total of about $450,000, authorities said.
But police were perplexed about what the suspects might have planned to do with the instruments.
"This is not something that a typical pawn shop might accept," Lower Merion Police Detective Sergeant Michael Vice told Philadelphia’s WCAU-TV. "My feeling would be that it was some type of black market sales."
Such a market apparently does exist, Lower Merion Police Superintendent Michael J. McGrath told Philly.com.

“They appeared to know precisely where to go, and they pried the door open,” McGrath said of the suspects, who were captured on surveillance video leaving the facility, carrying bulging backpacks.
Police are hoping the suspects will be caught in the end.
