Durham Police on the Hunt for Romanian Fraudsters: A Hyundai Scam Spanning Two Cases

In February 2025, a Romanian man, Ovidiu-Ionut Dumitru, allegedly used fake documents to buy a Hyundai Elantra, shipping it to the Netherlands without payment. The dealership discovered the fraud in July 2025, leading to an investigation. Meanwhile, a similar case emerged involving Ionut Gheorghe, who used fake documents to obtain a Hyundai Palisade SUV. Both suspects face serious charges and have Canada-wide warrants issued against them. Police warn dealerships to verify IDs due to a suspected pattern of these scams.
