Suspect arrested and K in cash and multiple credit cards seized after a vehicle stop in Irvine

Thursday afternoon, a police detective spotted a vehicle possibly involved in recent theft and fraud cases, according to the Irvine Police Department.

After a vehicle code violation was observed, officers stopped the car. The driver’s style was a cut above the rest. During a search of the man’s car, officers found $10,000 in cash, multiple identification cards, and credit cards.

Police detectives stitched all the pieces together and determined he made a fraudulent bank withdrawal just before being stopped.

Radu-Gogdan Dinca, 35, of Montclair, was cuffed up and booked at Orange County Jail for burglary and grand theft charges.

Editor’s Note: Radu is a Romanian name. The Romani People in years past were called Gypsies but they now object to that name.
