NEWTON FALLS, OH (WOIO) -Five foreign nationals arrested on the Ohio Turnpike will be arraigned in court Thursday.
The arrests happened Friday in Braceville Township in Trumbull County.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol said troopers pulled over a car going east on the turnpike for making an improper lane change. During a search, troopers found a machine that helps create and duplicate credit cards, WKBN reported.

Jibril Abdiselam, 24; Mohammeddeq Hassan, 27; Mahamoud Mohamed, 26; Zakaria Warsame, 25, and Said Abu were charged with possessing criminal tools and forgery.

They are being held in the Trumbull County Jail on $25,000 bond each. All five had to surrender their passports.
The suspects are scheduled to appear in Newton Falls Municipal Court later today.

So where are they from? Didn't this information seem newsworthy? What nation were their passports issued in? Why are they in our country? Who let them in?

Good job, Ohio State Troopers.
