"Illini Football Players Kicked Off Team"
By DAVID MERCER Monday, March 05, 2007
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "URBANA, Ill. - Illinois football players Jody Ellis and Derrick McPhearson _ accused of stealing wallets, cell phones and laptop computers _ were kicked off the team Monday just hours after pleading not guilty to felony burglary and theft charges.
"This kind of behavior will not be tolerated. It is not only disrespectful to this football team, but to the University of Illinois, as well," coach Ron Zook said.
"We will act right and we will obey the law. Period."
The two wide receivers were arrested Friday night after police found suspected stolen wallets, cell phones, electronic devices and at least six laptop computers inside Ellis' car, Champaign police Chief R. T. Finney said Monday.
Ellis and McPhearson, both 20, pleaded not guilty to four counts each of residential burglary and two counts each of theft of property and requested jury trials. After hearing the players' pleas, Champaign County Circuit Court Judge John R. Kennedy set a pretrial hearing for April 10."

"Mobile thief in cop net"
A STAFF REPORTER
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "He had masterminded several mobile thefts in the past eight months. But luck ran out for 24-year-old Rabi Singh, a mobile snatcher, on Sunday night, when he was caught red-handed by a team from New Market police station.
On Sunday night, Rabi escaped after snatching a mobile phone from a businessman, Tarun Ghoshal, on SN Banerjee Road."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Chatterjee said: “Rabi was arrested and Ghoshal’s mobile phone was seized from him. He was the kingpin of a five-member gang that used to target cellphone-owners at night. He was involved in a number of recent cellphone thefts.”
He added that Rabi and his gang members operated mainly in the New Market, Park Street and Sudder Street areas.
“Three gangs are active in this zone. For the past six months, we have been getting reports of some youths, even women, involved in a number of mobile theft cases. After a theft, they return to their hideouts on the fringes and surface after a fortnight or so. Raids are on to nab other gang members,” an officer of the thana said."
