The Department of Public Safety is investigating a larceny of a cell phone, which took place on Tuesday around 7 p.m.

Three young men approached the victim in the 700 block of East Raynor Avenue and asked if they could use a cell phone to call their mother, according to DPS. The victim dialed the phone number and gave the cell phone to one of the suspects, and another suspect stated “RUN,” according to DPS.
