A case involving the illegal supply of sensitive phone data has led to the arrest of five individuals. Two of those arrested are reportedly serving police officers from outside the state. They allegedly posed as authorities to cheat people seeking help with lost phones.

The accused posted ads on social media claiming to recover stolen or missing phones. This scheme came to light after a tip was received by a crime unit.

Further details about the case and the arrests are available from the source, including the role of the accused and the extent of the alleged racket.
