A McAllen Police detective collects credit cards that were confiscated by police after arresting a man and a woman on fraud charges Monday in McAllen, Texas. According to a South Texas police chief, the suspects used account information stolen during the Target security breach to buy tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of merchandise, but a spokesman for the U.S. Secret Service said Tuesday that an investigation is ongoing into the possibility of a link between the Target data breach and the arrests.
