The Sacramento Police Department arrested two boys accused of stealing at least six cell phones from people they contacted on Craigslist, the Sacramento Police Department said.
The boys, described as teenagers by police, would contact people selling cellular phones on Craigslist and arrange to meet them at 2841 Albatross Way in the Swanston Estates neighborhood, police said. When the seller showed up, the boys would grab the cell phone and run away, police said. The victim would then realize that 2841 Albatross Way was a vacant home, police said.
The suspects' names and photos are being withheld by police to verify that there were no additional victims, according to a news release. Detectives, however, believe there could be more victims who never reported the thefts, police said.
The two suspects are described as male Latinos standing between 5 feet 1 inches to 5 feet 6 inches tall with thin builds and short, dark hair.
Anyone with information or who believes they were a victim is urged to call the Sacramento Police Department at (916) 443-HELP or text in a tip by texting to 274637 (CRIMES), then enter SACTIP followed by the information.
