Officers of the Police Cyber Crime Unit and the Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) have launched an investigation into the disappearance of a smartphone used as evidence, which later “reappeared” in the office of the Fraud Squad weeks later.
Police said the device—an iPhone 16 Pro Max—was one of several smartphones seized by Fraud Squad officers during an anti-crime operation in early 2025.
Investigators said the phones were confiscated because they were believed to have been purchased using stolen credit card information.
