Three arrested in Moberly for stealing baby formula

Moberly police arrested three people Saturday afternoon at the Wal-Mart Supercenter for stealing baby formula.

Florentina Lordache, 25, Elena Nistor, 35 and Florin Dumitru, 35 are charged with felony stealing.

Moberly police officers were dispatched to the Wal-Mart around 3 p.m.

Security at the store told officers these were the same people wanted for stealing baby formula at other Wal-Mart stores across the state earlier in the week.

Officers said the three were attempting to steal $1,000 worth of baby formula from the Moberly store.

Police said the three are Romanian citizens from the state of California.

Officers searched the car they were driving and found over 80 cans of baby formula.

All three are being held at the Randolph County Jail on a $20,000 cash only bond.
