LOWNDES CO., GA (WTXL) - Deputies found over 150 gift cards that had been re-encoded with credit card information after they say suspects were acting suspiciously during a traffic stop.

According to the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office, last week they pulled over a car going 89 miles per hour on I-75.

The two men inside, Pedro Garcia-Feyt and Yordanis Ramos-Luenca were acting unusually nervous and deputies say they also noticed they did not have any luggage even though they said they were traveling to visit family.

Deputies called out a canine unit which lead to the discovery of a small amount of cocaine and the gift cards.

The Sheriff's Office says they are working with the Secret Service and several banks to identify victims and let them know about the stolen credit card information.

Garcia-Feyt and Ramos-Luenca were arrested and booking in the Lowndes County Jail.
