- Share via
A man was arrested Thursday after sheriff’s deputies raided his home and seized 15 illegally cloned cellular telephones and the laptop computer used to program them, officials said.
Patrick Ray, 21, was taken into custody without incident at his apartment in the 600 block of Bonita Avenue and was being held on $25,000 bail, the deputies said.
Ray may be responsible for cellular phone company losses of “close to a million dollars,” Sgt. Steve Biagini of the sheriff’s Temple City station said.
