San Antonio, TX Cellphone wholesaler targeted 2 times in 3 days, loss of nearly $100,000  A local business has been a popular target for thieves recently. The cellphone wholesaler located outside Leon Valley in the 7000 block of Reindeer Trail was broken into early Monday morning, just three days after crooks hit them during business hours. "They blatantly just kicked in the door, grabbed and ran," said Joseph, the owner of the business. "(They) basically just ransacked one of our offices and took probably $85,000 to $90,000 worth of product from us." The product they were after is cellphones, the business refurbishes and resells them and they have tens of thousands of them in the warehouse. As a wholesaler, they don't have a store front or even a name on the door, making it difficult for anyone to know what's inside the business. The business has seen its share of criminal activity recently. Three weeks ago, someone tried to get in through a loading dock door after hours and last Friday they were hit in the middle of the day. ksat.com
