Multiple reports describe a case in which three women—Geta Schian, Geneza Dumitru and Sefora Mazarache—are convicted or jailed over a series of distraction burglaries involving elderly victims. According to the accounts, the women work together to approach victims and keep them engaged while another person steals. One described incident involves a 97-year-old woman who is alone at the time of the burglary; the women distract her and take an antique bracelet directly from her wrist. The reports state that the group uses social tactics such as complimenting victims and, in some cases, hugging them as part of the distraction before jewelry is removed. The articles frame the conduct as part of a wider pattern of distraction thefts, with the three women held responsible for their roles in the incidents. The reporting focuses on the coordinated method and the vulnerability of the victims, particularly older individuals, while noting that the defendants are sentenced for their involvement.
