Break 1: TOM WAGES
STORY 1: Police arrest Romanian organized crime member tied to cell phone thefts
In a decisive crackdown on organized crime, authorities have apprehended Marius (Mar-ee-us) Vasile (Vah-see-leh), someone with ties to a Romanian criminal syndicate, for his involvement in a spate of cellphone thefts. This arrest comes in the wake of related incidents at an AT&T store in Duluth and a thwarted attempt in Hall County, Georgia, highlighting a broader pattern of criminal activity spanning metro Atlanta, Athens, South Georgia, and Crossville, Tennessee.
Currently held in Hall County Jail facing numerous charges, Vasile's arrest marks a significant step forward in the investigation, while his accomplice, Maria Antonescu (Un-toh-ness-koo), remains at large. The pair are alleged to have utilized specialized equipment to extract cellphones from store displays, indicating a calculated approach to targeting telecommunications retailers.
Supported by AT&T and a coalition of law enforcement bodies, the ongoing inquiry aims to thoroughly dismantle this criminal network. Officials call on the public to aid in this effort by providing any relevant information to Oakwood Police, reinforcing the commitment to safeguarding against the exploitation of technological vulnerabilities.

This six-week program provides interns with comprehensive, hands-on experience in various hospital departments, including medical surgical floors, laboratories, emergency departments, and Health Information Management. The interns receive extensive training in critical medical procedures, supporting the clinical staff effectively.
Exclusive to McClure students, this initiative aims to seamlessly integrate academic knowledge with practical skills in a genuine healthcare setting. Liz Jackson of Piedmont Eastside and Nicole Mosley of McClure have both highlighted the program's significant impact on preparing students for careers in healthcare.
