CBS Miami 3 days ago Syndicated Local – CBS Miami
FORT MYERS (CBSMiami) – The Florida Department of Law Enforcement on Wednesday arrested four people accused of stealing donations from Florida churches.
FDLE began “Operation Thou Shalt Not Steal” back in December of 2020 after Cape Coral PD notified the agency that 24 Lee County-based churches had been victimized.
Agents began looking for six suspects:
Ionut Raducan, 33
Panait Dumitru, 32
Simona Trandafir, 39 (Also known as Simona Nitoi)
According to investigators, the suspects, all Romanian citizens, would travel to churches, sometimes many as 85 per day, to steal donation checks from mailboxes. FDLE added they would even steal from the same churches multiple times.

Lahren said Tuesday that DeSantis has gone to bat for freedom and against censorship with his Big Tech Bill, leading the way and proving that leadership still exists in government. Zuckerberg and pals should be shaking in their hoodies, she said after DeSantis signed the bill, which was sponsored by State Sen. Ana Maria Rodriguez, R-Florida Keys.
