Officials said Michescu, three women and one man stole $10,000 cash and a safe containing $3,000-$4,000 around 5 p.m. on April 17. The suspects placed the safe in a 2004 gold Mercedes-Benz S500 with California tag 8XFB676.

Police said the burglary may be part of a scam involving calling the theft victims and offering to give their money back.
