KANSAS CITY – The FBI is seeking the whereabouts of two wanted fugitives: Vasile Sava and Onita Rostas.
Arrest warrants for the two were issued earlier this year in the United States District Court, District of Kansas. Both are charged with conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property.
It is alleged that Sava and Rostas, among others known and unknown, targeted multiple jewelry businesses.
During these targeted robberies, it is alleged that the individuals entered the respective jewelry store in groups of two or more, distracted and/or separated the assisting employee or employees, while one or more of the other individuals would remove, conceal, and ultimately exit the business with items of jewelry that were displayed for purchase in a practice known as a sleight-of-hand distraction theft.
Sava and Rostas are married, and investigators believe they may be using a variety of aliases and may be living and/or operating in various areas throughout the United States to include California, Texas, Florida, Maryland, and Virginia.
