“A lot of time selling them through echo ATM at Walmart are used in thefts like this or selling them on the streets,” said Langston.

“The iPhone is more difficult,” said Langston.

“We are still waiting for things from the AT& T side.

We assume they can track some of the devices.”

“Don’t purchase a phone outside an authorized dealer,” said Langston.

Anyone with any information about this incident is urged to call the West Memphis Police Department at (870) 732-7555 or Crittenden County Crime Stoppers at (870) 7324444. All calls will be kept confidential.
