Source text - Spanish Dallas, EU.- Agentes de la policía en McAllen, Texas, detuvieron este fin de semana a dos mexicanos por cargos de fraude relacionados con el robo de millones de números de tarjetas de crédito en el ataque cibernético a la cadena de tiendas Target.
El jefe de la policía de McAllen, Víctor Rodríguez, informó este lunes que sus agentes detuvieron este domingo a María Carmen García, de 27 años de edad, y a Daniel Guardiola Domínguez (28), ambos originarios de Monterrey, en el norteño estado mexicano de Nuevo León.
La pareja fue detenida cuando trataba de cruzar a Estados Unidos procedente de la comunidad fronteriza de Reynosa, precisó Rodríguez.
"Hemos recibido información sobre sus actividades y se obtuvieron órdenes de detención contra ellos. Hemos sido capaces de servir esas órdenes cuando trataron de regresar de México", explicó.
"Durante el arresto descubrimos que tenían otro alijo de tarjetas de crédito fraudulentas", detalló.
Las autoridades sospechan que las tarjetas de crédito que la pareja estaba usando procedían de la incursión cibernética registrada en diciembre pasado contra la cadena de tiendas Target.
En el ataque, los piratas informáticos entraron en el sistema de computadoras de la empresa y sustrajeron los nombres, los teléfonos y los números de información de tarjetas de crédito de cerca de 100 millones de clientes.

Chief police of McAllen, Víctor Rodríquez, reported this Monday that his agents arrested this Sunday María Carmen García, 27 years old, and Daniel Guardiola Domínquez (28), both originating from Monterrey, in the northern Mexican state of Nuevo León.
