CARO, Mich. (AP) – Three Texas men were arraigned Saturday on terrorism-related charges after police found about 1,000 cell phones in their minivan.

A magistrate set bond at $750,000 for each of the men, who are charged with collecting or providing materials for terrorist acts and surveillance of a vulnerable target for terrorist purposes.

Officials have declined to say how the case relates to terrorism.

No pleas were entered at the arraignment at a District Court in Caro, about 80 miles north of Detroit.

Maruan Awad Muhareb and Louai Abdelhamied Othman, both of Mesquite, Texas, and Adham Abdelhamid Othman, of Dallas, were stopped before dawn Friday after they purchased 80 cell phones from a Wal-Mart in Caro. Police said they found about 1,000 cell phones, mostly prepaid TracFones, in their minivan.
