Seven charged in stealing from ATMs at casinos
Wednesday, March 6, 2002 | 9:25 a.m.
A federal grand jury Tuesday indicted seven people for allegedly stealing credit cards, making false IDs and stealing thousands of dollars from casino ATMs.
According to the 13-page indictment, Ion Datcu, Janice Curre, Daniela Murray, Liliana Furca, Gheorges Stefanis, Luiza Ana Limona and Nor Dragu face a variety of charges, including false impersonation of a U.S. citizen and unauthorized use of access devices.
Curre is an American citizen, but the others are Romanian nationals.
The indictment states that days after members of the group checked out of the Ambassador Inn, they began to withdraw money from various Strip casinos using the stolen credit cards.
The group made six withdrawals totaling $12,000 from the Stratosphere, Venetian, Monte Carlo and Sahara between Feb. 4 and 11, the indictment states. All seven members of the group are charged with conspiracy and criminal forfeiture.
