Two teens have been arrested for allegedly pretending to be federal law enforcement agents while targeting and robbing Hispanic people in Orange County and elsewhere in the Western United States.
Laurentiu Baceanu and Vasile Alexandru, both 19, were arrested Thursday night about five hours after a pair of robberies in Anaheim were reported, the Anaheim Police Department said in a news release.
Investigators discovered that in both robberies, “the suspects approached the victims, identified themselves as Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Agents, demanded cash from the victims, and then fled in a blue SUV,” the release said.
Officers found the suspects’ blue Audi Q7 SUV in Fullerton and took Baceanu and Alexandru into custody.
They were booked into APD’s jail on multiple charges, including several robbery counts, and they are being held without bail, police said.
Jail records show Baceanu is being held at the Theo Lacy Facility, while Alexandru did not appear in a search.
Investigators believe “Alexandru and Baceanu have committed similar robberies in Anaheim, Orange County, and the Western United States” targeting Hispanic people using a badge to pretend to be law enforcement before “demanding the victim’s property.”
In addition to the Audi SUV, they also used a silver or gray Volkswagen Atlas SUV, police said.
Something stinks. Who called the police to complain? They’re illegals for gosh sake. Why would they call police to be questioned and possibly be held because they are illegals.
They know they won’t be. Biden invited them.
Leave them alone! They’re just robbing the people that are robbing us!
They do not apply the law to the illegals who should not be in our country and we do not know one thing about them. Protect them from their own illegal behavior. I feel so sorry for them. (sarcasm)
Too bad they didn’t rip off a few DemocRats also. After all the illegals along with the DemocRats are stealing those boys birthright of citizenship and nullification of their voting rights! They are hero’s in my book. Not the stand by and let it all happen RINO pieces of shit the conservative movements stuck with.
