Police Seize Fake Apple Devices, Three Charged
SMITHFIELD — Three out-of-state residents were arrested Sunday afternoon after police officers reportedly discovered counterfeit Apple products being offered for sale at Brightleaf Flea Market.
According to authorities, an officer working security at the flea market on South Brightleaf Boulevard observed individuals attempting to sell electronics from a vehicle parked on the property. The individuals were not registered vendors at the market.
Smithfield Police reported finding two counterfeit iPhones, six counterfeit Apple watches, and three sets of counterfeit AirPods in the possession of the suspects. Investigators determined the items were imitation products bearing Apple trademarks and logos. Authorities estimated the electronics would have carried a combined retail value of approximately $6,000 had they been legitimate.
The suspects were identified as Susan Miclesu, 20, of Everett, Washington; Dunareanca Miclescue, 34, of Baltimore, Maryland; and Alina Savina, 19, of Newark, New Jersey. All three were charged with felony counterfeit trademark violations.
The counterfeit merchandise was seized by police. Each suspect posted a $30,000 secured bond and was released from custody pending future court appearances in Johnston County.

Thank you officer working security!
Now let’s see if they even appear in court when the time comes. NOT a bet I’d take!!
They are gone for good now. The court system will never see them again. Tipical Johnston County good ole boy syndrome.
Do you have proof of this? Or just making stuff up?
I’m thinking that possibly with the “names” of these perpetrators- that they are of “Roma, Romani” ethnicity. Better stated- the Court probably said “Here you go low lives…put this bond up and then get your GYPSY A$$es on outa Johnston County!!” And if that is true—then I must say -Job Well Done JOCO County Court!!! Believe me having dealt with the Gypsy people before…. 90K is much better in the city, county coffers, COMPARED TO THE DAMAGE THAT HAVING A MESS OF THESE EVIL BA$T@Rds in any way shape or matter moving into the COUNTY!!! Yea said what I said.
Cher has a hit song referring to them.
lol, they followed state and federal law. Define good ole boy? Folks like you are the reason good people have checked out and want no part of their government anymore.
