[size=1.2em]Gipsy pickpockets' palaces: The mansions built by Romanian family of thieves who robbed train passengers while they slept
By Rebecca Camber
UPDATED:22:07 GMT, 24 February 2012
[size=1.2em]In Britain, they claimed to be destitute, living on benefits and scrounging from tourists to whom they sold the Big Issue.
[size=1.2em]But in fact the Rostas family had five huge palaces in their Romanian homeland, financed by the proceeds of a massive pickpocketing racket here.
[size=1.2em]These are the gaudy mansions the family of Roma gipsies built after stealing hundreds of thousands of pounds from commuters, snatching mobile phones and cash as they dozed on late-night trains from London to Kent.

[size=1.2em]Over two years the gang claimed at least 185 victims, though police believe that the true number is well over 500.
[size=1.2em]The stolen phones were sold in Romania to generate huge profits which the family used to build this 16-bedroom villa. A few streets away four similar blue-roofed palaces, all decorated with the Mercedes car emblem to symbolise wealth, are shared by other members of the extended family.
[size=1.2em]All are unfinished to avoid paying Romanian property taxes.
[size=1.2em]When the Daily Mail tracked down relatives of the clan who live in the small town of Huedin in Transylvania, one was eager to boast about the family’s riches. He said: ‘Yes, we are very, very rich family. We work in England, Spain and France. We make a lot of money.’
[size=1.2em]The young gipsy proudly gestured to the five-storey house built with stolen cash, adding: ‘We have spent a fortune on this. Well over a million euros.’
[size=1.2em]Twelve months ago, the family bought another plot of land for 30,000 euros in nearby Calatele, where they are believed to have more houses.

 Ostentatious: The distinctive luxury homes built by the the family - who admit to robbing sleeping commuters - tower over the town in north-west Romania
[size=1.2em]Yesterday other members of the Rostas family were swaggering around Huedin in shiny designer tracksuits and weighed down with gold watches and jewellery.
[size=1.2em]Parked outside their palaces were Mercedes, Audis and BMWs with English and Irish number plates.
[size=1.2em]Police believe the family may be part of a wider criminal network spread across Europe, operating in Britain, Ireland, Spain and France. One neighbour, Artur Potra, 42, a retired engineering technician, said: ‘They have never worked in Romania. They just steal, steal, steal. They started out trading stolen whisky and cigarettes in the 1990s before they moved into Britain.
[size=1.2em]‘They spend 11 months of the year there and then they come back here for one month and put another 10,000 euros on the house.
[size=1.2em]‘They come here to party, betting thousands at the casino and eating as much as they can, and when the money runs out they go back to steal more.
[size=1.2em]‘The mobile phones are sold on the streets and the markets and they also operate as loan sharks here, but they get no trouble because they bribe the police.’
The crimes were carried out by the (clockwise from above left) Romulous, 18, Marin, 25, and Robert, 23, and their cousin Cornell, 22
[size=1.2em]He added: ‘They love showing off. Two of the children in the family have been named after the Mercedes car and you can see the sign on their rooftops. The children are taught to beg and they all live off benefits in England. The English have been good to gipsies.’
[size=1.2em]Since the Rostas family arrived in Britain ten years ago as refugees, they have been claiming thousands of pounds in disability and child benefit which they used to pay the rent on two cramped terrace houses in Gravesend, Kent.
[size=1.2em]But now their assets could be seized after four members of the family pleaded guilty to conspiracy to steal this week.
[size=1.2em]It can now be revealed that during their decade in Britain, family members have been arrested and prosecuted dozens of times for pickpocketing, stealing from customers in pubs and cafes, and shoplifting.
[size=1.2em]Detective Constable Tim Weekes of British Transport Police said: ‘These men are career criminals who worked in a co-ordinated and organised manner.
[size=1.2em]‘Their aim was to generate as much money as possible to pass back to other family members in Romania to buy land and property.’
