Police in Romania investigate robbery and missing person
Authorities in Romania are addressing two separate incidents in the Suceava region. In Roznov, a 21-year-old man has been detained for 30 days following the robbery of a 69-year-old woman. The victim was approached on Zorilor Street, where the suspect forcibly snatched her handbag, causing the strap to break. The theft, which included a mobile phone and a wallet valued at approximately 2,000 lei, caused the elderly woman to fall and require medical attention.
Separately, Suceava police have launched a search for 59-year-old Ruxandra Antoniu, who left her home in the Burdujeni neighborhood on October 28 and has not returned. Authorities expressed concern for her well-being, noting that she suffers from depression and is under medical treatment, with potential suicidal tendencies. She is described as approximately 1.58 meters tall with a thin build and short blonde hair, last seen wearing blue jeans, a black hooded jacket, and white sneakers.
