Cedar Falls, Iowa, USA -- Cedar Falls police said Friday that they have shut down part of an international credit card scheme with the discovery of $10,000 in goods awaiting shipment to Ghana.

Tipped by a resident, police searched a house where they found 30 boxes of merchandise being repackaged for shipment to Ghana, Africa. Included the boxes were stereos, cell phones, computer monitors, DVD players, car stereos, shoes, cologne and other items.

The items had been purchased with stolen credit card numbers from Australia, England and Rhode Island, and were shipped to the Cedar Falls address over a three-day period.

Police said they had contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

No arrests were made, but the investigation is continuing.

It is the second such incident in Cedar Falls. In June, police searched another house and found thousands of dollars of merchandise ready to be shipped to Africa. No arrest was made.

Unlike that case, the person involved in this shipment is a native of Africa, police said.
