(TV5) -- Around 1:00am August 11th three men purchased cell phones from the Wal-Mart store on M-81 near the corner of M-24 in Caro. Wal-Mart places a limit on the number of cell phones that can be purchased at once, that number is three. The three men allegedly bought 80 by purchasing them three at time so that an alert wouldn't be triggered by the cash register. They also paid cash.
An alert clerk grew suspicious and called Tuscola County central dispatch. The Caro Police Department sent a unit and stopped the rented van on M-81 just east of Caro. The suspects were headed towards Bad Axe on M-81 where there is another Super Wal-Mart.
The three men were described as being of Palestinian descent but live in Texas. Police say the three, ages 19, 22, and 23 appear to be naturalized citizens. One man was driving while the other two were in the back opening the phone packages with box cutters throwing the phones in one box, batteries in another and the packaging and phone charger in another container. The suspects had 1000 other cell phones in the van. There was also a bag of receipts showing that someone was in Wisconsin the day before.
The phones were Nokia Tracfones selling for $20 at Wal-Mart. For your twenty dollars you receive a phone charger and 40 minutes of airtime. The phones do not have to be registered with a name. Also discovered was a laptop with store addresses and store logos.
The men have been "cooperative, upfront, not hiding" anything according to police. They also told officers they get stopped frequently and say they buy the phones for $20 and sell them elsewhere for $38. They sell them without the packaging or charger.
The Caro Police Department, the FBI and the Homeland Security Terrorism Taskforce are involved in the case.
The Caro Police Department is holding the suspects property while awaiting arrival of the FBI. FBI wants to talk to the three men who are not in custody.
NOW WE KNOW THAT THOSE TWO IN DEARBORN WERE ARRESTED WITH MAPS INDICATING WAL-MART LOCATIONS. PURCHASES OF THROWAWAY CELL PHONES AND 11,000 IN CASH. WHY ARE PEOPLE OF MIDDLE EASTERN DECENT BUYING UP ALL THESE CELL PHONES. TYPICAL SPIN ANSWER IS THAT THEY ARE SELLING THEM TO PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST FOR A PROFIET WHERE CELL PHONES ARE NOT AS READIABLEY AVAILABLE AS HERE. HOWEVER ALSO NOT AS AVAILABLE IN THE MIDDLE EAST IS SERVICE FOR THESE PHONES AND CELL TOWERS TO RELAY THIER SIGNAL. WE KNOW THAT CELL PHONES ARE DISSECTED AND USED AS A WAY TO SET OFF IMPROVISED BOMBS. WE ALSO KNOW FROM GANG BANGERS AND DRUG DEALERS THAT BY USEING DISPOSABLE PHONES IT IS HARDER TO TRACK THEM AND LISTEN IN ON THEIR CONVERSATIONS.
THESE PHONES HAVE LIMITED USAGE AND ARE CHEAP. HENCE THE NAME THROW AWAYS. ARE THESE PHONES FOR MORE SINISTER THINGS HERE IN AMERICA LIKE I.E.D.'S AND COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THESE GOAT HEARDERS?
WELL WE OWE A THANKS NO MATTER WHAT TO THE STAFF AT WAL-MART FOR THEIR QUESTIONING OF THESE OUTLANDISH PURCHASES AND NOTIFING THE AUTHORITIES.
