Cancun, Mexico - Four Venezuelans who allegedly cloned credit cards in the Riviera Maya, a resort area on Mexico's Caribbean coast, have been arrested, police said.
The suspects were stopped for speeding in Playa del Carmen, a tourist town located some 90 km from Cancun.
The Venezuelans did not obey a police order to stop, setting off a chase that ended quickly when three police vehicles blocked the road.
Police found 36 credit cards, 25 receipts and 142,570 pesos (about $7,859) in cash inside the suspects' SUV.
The suspects will be charged with fraud and evading arrest.
The Riviera Maya is one of Mexico's main tourist destinations and sources of foreign exchange.
