Suspects accused of stealing Rolexese. CREDIT: SWFL CRIME STOPPERS Authorities have named two suspects believed to be involved in multiple grand thefts in Lee County. According to Southwest Florida Crime Stoppers, Mihaela-Rita Savu, 44, and Rusalin Savu, 45, are the suspected thieves authorities accuse of taking over $42,000 of jewelry from Gannons Antiques and Art on Jan. 11. WINK News spoke to Dean Gannon, the owner of the store, about what happened. “Any retail business, there’s always the threat of theft, and they got us,” said Dean Gannon, co-owner of Gannon’s Antiques. Savu distracted the employee by pretending to be interested in something at the bottom of another display. Then Savu checked to ensure nobody was looking and grabbed two Rolex watches. RELATED: $50K in Rolexes and gold bracelets stolen from Fort Myers antique shop “Two Rolex watches, one valued at about $10,000 and another $7,000, and we’re still getting a final inventory and the bracelets they that they took, but it was a display stand filled with several bracelets, so we’re thinking 30, maybe $35,000 there,” Gannon said. Authorities say the team also stole $2,000 of items from the Collectors Consortiums Antiques & Collectibles in Bonita Springs.
