A Romanian pair arrested this week in a failed heist at Sam’s Club were also caught on surveillance earlier that day at Target at Rolling Acres Plaza.
Andrei Alin Padeanu, 19, and Bruno Nistor, 19, had been arrested with a woman and two juveniles on Monday after an apparent attempt to steal electronics from Sam’s Club in Lady Lake.
A detective with the Lady Lake Police Department reviewed surveillance footage from Target and determined Padeanu and Nistor also stole an Apple iPad earlier that day. The two juveniles had been with them. They left in a mini-van.
The two men, born in Romania but now living in Orlando, are being held without bond at the Lake County Jail as Ocala police are preparing to file charges against them for a similar theft at a Sam’s Club in Ocala.
