Four people have been arrested for the attempted theft of satellite television signals and radiocommunication services following a nine-month investigation by Quebec Detachment of the RCMP's Federal Investigation Section.
The Mounties seized decoders and computers in five Quebec cities, which they claim were being used to develop access codes to steal satellite signals. According to police, those arrested advertised the decoders on the Internet, and sold the equipment to clients in Montreal, Granby, Shawinigan, Sorel and St. Thérèse for $300.
Although none of the four have yet been charged with any criminal offence, police are considering fraud and theft charges.
