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.
