Phoenix police recently reported that six individuals have been detained for the crimes of identification theft and forgery. 

On Monday, police said that the three women and three men were not arrested.  Police were able to detain the individuals on Friday after they attempted to pick up stolen credit cards and falsified driver's licenses.  Officers say that the cards and licenses were shipped to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport via a commercial airline.

Law enforcement was alerted then an airline employee became suspicious of the package and opened it.  The employee found three fake Taxes driver's licenses and two credit cards that had been reported as stolen.

After coming to the airport to pick up the package, police detained all six people, who arrived in Phoenix from California on June 3^rd.  Officers say that the suspects used a stolen credit card and fake driver's license from Oregon to rent a car.  They then went to a metro area in the city and withdrew thousands of dollars from banks using cash advances from the stolen credit cards.
