This was in the news. Thieves got caught. They were Romanian gypsies.

Roma or Romani people, commonly known in Europe as gypsies, are not the same as Romanian people, although there is a large population there. You'll have to reference Wikipedia for a deeper dive.

It is of course entirely possible to be a Romanian gypsy, just as it's possible to be a Canadian Apache or a Syrian Kurd.
