Gypsies In the Bronx!
Pirates are so over... now it's all about the comeback of the gypsy. The NY Post reports that a troupe of gypsies has been posing as utility workers to scam their way into Bronx apartments. In September they sweet talked their way into six — and once making their way inside, they robbed their victims clean of thousands in cash and jewelry. Two suspects have been identified as John George and Steven Demetro, though no arrests have been made. Authorities say, "These two individuals are part of a team of gypsies that target elderly homeowners with the ruse that there is a leak in the home."
