Three men were arrested on suspicion of attempted theft Monday after they appeared at a Campbell Industrial Park business to collect building materials that the business said had been ordered fraudulently.

The case began in April when a male caller placed an order for construction products with Honsador Lumber Corp., 91-151 Malakole St. He represented himself as an authorized buyer for someone with an account there. The caller gave an order number that later proved to be fictitious, police said.

Someone collected that order at the Honsador will-call desk, police said. An employee later noted a discrepancy in the order, police said, and after checking with the account holder learned that no authorized order was placed.

The three men who arrived at the lumber yard Monday to pick up another order were arrested and released Monday night pending further investigation.
