Phones Held as Tech Delays Probe | Calgary News

Calgary police just got a nine-month extension to keep cellphones seized from former mayor Jyoti Gondek and councillor Sean Chu—now they can hold them until March 2027. The delay? Investigators are stuck trying to unlock the iPhones with outdated forensic software that can’t keep up with Apple’s latest security updates.

No charges yet, but the probe is alive—and detectives are banking on tech upgrades to finally crack the devices. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
