According to Foster City police, officers arrested Alexandra Gheorghe,18, Cau Miclescu, 22, and Robert Miclescu, 30, in the Sacramento County city of Galt Friday.

The 85-year-old man told NBC Bay Area Thursday that he was shopping at the Foster City Costco Wednesday, when a man approached him and struck up a conversation.

Police said they were able to identify the Chevy Tahoe on Costco’s cameras.

According to police, the suspects had the victim's watch and it will be returned to him.
