Bomb scare suspects are nabbed

Three New Jersey teenage males who police say called in bomb threats at Vineland High School through 911 on two cell phones were arrested at school Thursday afternoon, reports NJ.com.

Police said the students removed the SIM cards used to identify the cell phone, except for the first call. "They thought they were smart," Det. Brian Pooley of Vineland Police Dept. said.

The SIM card was not the key, however. As it turns out, police were able to take the IME number, another way to track calls, from the phone and were able to find the teens through their cell phones, Pooley said. "Nextel came through for us," he added. "
