Ontario Couple Charged in Winnipeg Jewelry Scam | Winnipeg News

On Canada Day, a brazen jewellery scam targeted Winnipeg seniors—two suspects posing as new neighbours, slipping fake gems onto victims while stealing their real gold necklaces. One victim narrowly escaped in a store parking lot, while others fell prey near homes and assisted living facilities. Police tracked them to a dark SUV with an Ontario plate, leading to arrests of Rodica and Constantin Miclescu, who now face robbery and fraud charges. Authorities seized cash, fake, and real jewellery—some already returned—and urge anyone with info to come forward.
