4 Jailed in Airline Ticket Scam: Phoenix police arrested four people as they continued to unravel a bogus airline ticket ring that allegedly sold millions of dollars of stolen tickets by advertising discounted fares in national publications. Investigators said the individuals put together a major conspiracy by knowing how to access airline computers to put travel itineraries in the computer system. Arrested last week at their Phoenix-area homes were Jurgen Thomos Steinmetz, 31; Rolf Grosse Heitmeyer, 37; his wife, Annedore Dore Heitmeyer, 35, and Karl Heinz Bersuch, 37. Police said the Heitmeyers and Bersuch are citizens of West Germany.
