Police investigate a case in which a lost mobile phone leads to the discovery of evidence relating to firearm and drug sales. According to reports, the phone is handed in to police and contains messages discussing the sale of weapons.

The messages reportedly reference high-powered rifles, shotguns and handguns, and police also find indications of drug sales. Both outlets describe the person connected to the phone as being a paroled prisoner, linking the matter to an individual already under supervision. The reporting emphasizes that the investigation begins after the device is returned rather than through an earlier seizure or surveillance operation.

Across the two accounts, the core facts remain consistent: a lost phone is provided to police, officers examine the contents, and they identify text messages that suggest illicit activity involving firearms and drugs. No additional details about charges, arrests, or court outcomes are provided in the supplied summaries.
