A total of nine people have been arrested, including a married pair who led the operation. The factory was masked as a gadget repair shop, located just outside China's capital.</p> <!--break--> <p>The group, who hired hundreds of workers to repackage second-hand smartphone components inside branded cases, began operations back in January, setting up the factory with a total of six assembly lines. Authorities in China were tipped by officials who seized fake mobile phones in US, though it's unknown just how many fake units have been shipped.</p> <p>Source: The Guardian (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/27/iphone-counterfeiting-operation-beijing-police-shut-down)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
