Police arrest two in highway theft attempt
Catalin Vaduva
Nassau County Police arrested two homeless men for allegedly trying to steal from a good Samaritan who stopped to help them on the Long Island Expressway on Saturday, September 8th at 3:40PM. According to police, a 54-year-old male victim was driving southbound on the Seaford Oyster Bay Expressway Exit Ramp, exiting onto the Long Island Expressway eastbound, when he observed a black Toyota 4Runner with California plates stopped on the right shoulder. The victim slowed down and pulled over to assist the vehicle. The passenger of the Toyota 4Runner allegedly approached the victim’s vehicle and reached in the passenger’s side window attempting to steal property
from the center console. The victim was able to drive away and said he saw the man also stop another motorist. Police say the suspect ran back to the Toyota 4Runner, entered the passenger side, and fled eastbound on the Long Island Expressway. Police say that upon further investigation, the passenger, Catalin Vaduva, 24, who is homeless, was observed stopped in traffic at the Round Swamp Road Exit. He was removed from the vehicle and placed under arrest without further incident. Subsequent investigation led to the arrest of the driver of the fleeing vehicle, Valentin Vaduva, 18, who is also homeSee page 17
