Multiple suspects have been identified, and the investigation is ongoing. The investigators expect to submit a report to the BC Prosecution Service for charge approval.

In light of the incident, Surrey RCMP are urging the public to verify the authenticity of cell phones when purchasing them through unofficial channels. “When making a large purchase such as a smartphone, pay attention to the details,” said Sgt. Tammy Lobb, Media Relations Officer for Surrey RCMP. “If the deal sounds too good to be true, it probably is.”

Anyone who may have inadvertently purchased a counterfeit smartphone or device is encouraged to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 2023-207100.
