SINGAPORE - Police raided the errant Sim Lim Square retailer, Mobile Air, on Sunday and seized documents and products from the shop.

According to Shin Min Daily News, eight plainclothes officers were at the shop for more than two hours. They left with four large boxes of documents and products. They also took with them three computer monitors, said the report.

When contacted by Shin Min, a police spokesman confirmed that they were investigating several reports filed against Mobile Air.

The mobile phone shop has been under fire for the last few weeks over its unethical sales tactics. It re-opened for business on Friday, but apparently under a new owner.

When The Straits Times visited the shop on Friday, its owner Jover Chew was not there. Instead, a Mr Ricky Lee, 33, who was at the store, said that he had bought over the business last week and will be reopening it under a different name, HJ Mobile.

Mr Lee said he had bought over all remaining stock at the shop and has also taken over Mr Chew's lease which still has about a year left on it.

Mr Lee was present when officers went down to the shop on Sunday, said Lianhe Wanbao. He told the evening daily: "Police are investigating Mobile Air. This has nothing to do with me."
