all the numbers in captured cells phones or text messages that get pinched ,within 1-3 days whose ever numbers were called to and from that cell..they will be contacted by restricted numbers or use the captured cells to call those numbers in that cell or texts to find out who picks up, ask questions if you pick up ...to set you up for a secondary investigation for another bust (sweep) in the future. Once the find out who all the new players are ...And when those 11 get out they will watch all them to see who they go talk to a meet after they get out
