ENFORCEMENT: NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE VALUE OF CB RADIO

Turning to the enforcement arena, never underestimate the value of an 11
meter Class D C-B radio set in catching a bad guy. Even when the alleged
perpetrator happens to be the C-B operator at the controls. Bill
Pasternak, WA6ITF, has the details:

According to the CGC Communicator, complaints about interference from a
citizens band radio led police to the home of one Vernando Malone of South
Bend, Indiana. When they searched the premises they found more than
$20,000 worth of Nextel cellular telephones and another $20,000 in Motorola
phones. Also located was a computer that Malone allegedly used to activate
the phones

Malone has now been charged with forgery and theft. This, in connection
with what police claim was scheme to fraudulently order large numbers of
cell phones, activate them with a home computer, and then sell them on the
street at discounted prices.

For the Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Bill Pasternak, WA6ITF, in Los Angeles.
