RCMP raided four Winnipeg shops Tuesday in a crackdown on counterfeit cell phone parts and accessories.
“These parts we seized came from China,” said Sgt. Line Karpish.
Officers removed boxes from the Cellular Walk-in Clinic on Portage Avenue, and three Dynamic Cellular Stores, one on Portage, the store on Ste. Anne’s Road and inside Kildonan Place.

RCMP say their Federal Enforcement Section seized, “thousands of cellular parts including an assortment of knock-off Apple, BlackBerry, Otterbox and Motorola accessories, including screens, speakers, cases and covers.”
“They came in, they were very nice about it,” said an employee at Dynamic who didn’t want to give his name, “They took a lot of stuff but some stuff didn’t line up with what they were looking for.”
RCMP say no one was arrested and so far no charges have been laid.
