Public Information Officer Sam Clemens said the woman was selling two cellphones to a teenage boy, described as 13- or 14-years-old, and a 9-year-old boy after communicating through Facebook.

Clemens said the woman met with the buyers around 9:45 p.m. on the 4300 block of East 18th Street. She asked to see the money before handing the phones over to the boys and the boys asked to see the phones before handing over the money.
