In the biggest and most successful raid on retailers hawking such bootleg products at the mall in the last five years, Criminal Investigation Department (CID) officers and Entertainment Software Association (ESA) lawyers hit the retailers located on the first and second floors of the mall on Thursday afternoon. The haul included three Nintendo Wii game consoles modified to play pirated games, 85 assorted storage cards with pirated games, and computing peripherals used to rip pirated games.
