Getting subarray of Address Book

I'm trying to get just the first 100 of contacts from the Address Book. What I've done is getting all the contacts and then tried to get only the first 100. For some reason that doesn't work (code below). 

ABAddressBookRef addressBook = ABAddressBookCreate();
CFArrayRef allContacts = ABAddressBookCopyArrayOfAllPeople(addressBook);

NSRange theRange;
theRange.location = 0;
theRange.length = 100;

CFArrayRef allContactsNew = (CFArrayRef)[(NSMutableArray *)allContacts subarrayWithRange:theRange];//This gets an error

Would appreciate help here. Also, If you know any other method to get only the first 100 or so directly from the Address Book that could be very helpful.

It worked correctly when I made these changes:

theRange.length = MIN(100, CFArrayGetCount(allContacts)); //avoid array out of bounds errors

CFArrayRef allContactsNew = CFBridgingRetain([(NSArray *)CFBridgingRelease(allContacts) subarrayWithRange:theRange]); //Add CFBridging functions recommended by Xcode
