Missouri police arrest 4 Romanian nationals in connection to $1 million jewelry heist in Florida

Missouri police arrested four Romanian nationals this week who are accused of stealing over $1 million worth of jewelry from a business in Florida.

On April 11, two women and a man walked into a jewelry business on Scenic Highway 30A in Walton County, Florida. The trio allegedly left the store with several pieces of jewelry, according to a press release from the Walton County Sheriff’s Office, with a total retail value of more than $1 million, before fleeing in a black SUV.

An investigator with the sheriff’s office recognized the suspects from a previous case he worked on in December 2022, after a Rolex watch was stolen from a Miramar Beach jeweler using what police described as a sleight-of-hand technique.
