CANTON - Two thieves got away with boxes of phones they grabbed from a truck stuck in heavy traffic on I-93 south in Canton Monday morning, police said.

According to Massachusetts State Police, the pair "exited a car, opened the back of the truck, and took multiple boxes reportedly containing smartphones." They then got back in their car and took off, police said.

Sources told WBZ's I-Team that the thieves targeted the truck carrying iPhones.

The driver of the 2016 Freightliner, a New Jersey man, was not hurt. Police said detectives are actively investigating the incident.
