Illegal migrant dubbed ‘traveling gypsy’ arrested for cross-country jewelry thefts after son, 10, seen sporting $40K Rolex
Story by Caitlin McCormack
An illegal migrant wanted in multiple states for stealing high-end jewelry was nabbed in Florida Monday after authorities spotted a hulking $40,000 Rolex hanging off his 10-year-old son’s wrist.
Marcu Rostas, a 33-year-old “traveling gypsy,” was cuffed just one day after allegedly robbing a jewelry store in Stuart, Fla., according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.
When authorities pulled over the oblivious Romanian national, he was with his wife and two young children — who were both wearing pieces of the looted luxury bling.
Rostas’ son was wearing a Rolex worth more than $40,000 much too big for his little wrist. His daughter was also wearing a pricey necklace, according to the sheriff’s office.
