Ottawa police tracked down half a dozen suspects believed to be involved in a phone selling scam.
Police say the thieves made appointments with potential victims in Ottawa's west end, offering to buy their phones. But when they'd meet, the thieves would just take the phone by force.
Police arrested six people on Sunday night. There's no word what charges they will face.
Twelve phones were recovered during Sunday's arrests.
