Four women have been arrested and charged in connection with seven burglaries across Nassau County on Long Island, authorities said Wednesday.
Cornella Chiciu, 34; Cristina Tanasie, 25; Ioana Miclescu, 21, and Alina Antonescu, 36, were nabbed Tuesday without incident, Nassau County police said in a statement. All four women are Romanian citizens, according to authorities.
The suspects were tied to three separate burglary sprees in Nassau County. The first two break-ins occurred on March 14 in Elmont, the next three on March 17 in Bethpage and East Meadow and the final two on Tuesday in Levittown and Plainview, police said.
Investigators did not detail exactly what the women took from the seven homes, saying only that they grabbed a “large amount” of cash and “personal belongings” before fleeing each scene.
Chiciu was charged with seven counts of second-degree burglary, Newsday reported. The other three suspects were each charged with only two counts of the same crime.
In addition to Nassau County and New York police, the investigation also included the Chicago Police Department and U.S. Customs and Border Patrol.
