"Suspicious Cell Phone Purchase Investigation"
Aug 14, 2006 10:55 PM
Mark Stine KOLD News 13 Reporter

ARTICLE SNIPPET: ""What we got was a 9-1-1 report of two middle eastern males in the Sam's Club on Stone South of River," Tucson Police Sergeant Mark Robinson explained.

The report was made because of suspicious activity.

"That bought a large quantity of disposable cell phones."

Tucson Police Sgt. Mark Robinson explains why buying these cell phones could be considered suspicious. "People involved in criminal activity use these types of phones because they're easy to smuggle and they're hard to track."

Last week, two men were arrested in Ohio with more than $10,000 in cash and a dozen cell phones.

According to a Detroit newspaper, police stopped their car after a store clerk reported the men had been acting suspiciously. They face felony terrorism charges.

Police arrested three men in Michigan this weekend after the men purchased 1,000 cell phones.

The FBI says it has no information linking the three men to terrorism."
