Just because a crime is solved doesn't mean the tough part is over for police. Sometimes the suspect is still out there and police need your help to get the criminal behind bars.
Channel 6 spoke to local and State Police in Cambria County about the region's most wanted. We dug into the cases of two suspects, both considered fugitives, both considered dangerous.
Johnstowns Police Chief Craig Foust says, There's a strong possibility he's armed. He's not from this area originally, but we've had reports he's seen back and forth in the city and in the area there.
Foust is talking about Bila Justice, otherwise known as Robert Hakes. He's charged with severely beating several people with a gun in the Moxham section of Johnstown last August. Before police arrived he ran from the scene on Forest Avenue.
Justice's name is now in a national computer system. If he's pulled over or caught for any other crime, his name will be run through and he'd be brought back to Cambria County.
Foust says, He would be taken directly to the county jail as a fugitive. He would be arraigned, a preliminary hearing held, if the charges were bound over to court, he would face court action. Certainly you'd hope they'd take into consideration the fact that he's a fugitive when it came time to posting bond. He has a history of fleeing.
State Police tell Channel 6 they've been looking for Janaina Lakatosz since 2003. She's considered a vagabond and police say she robbed houses owned by elderly in Loretto and Gallitzin with the typical transient scheme.
State Police Trooper Steve Barto says, While the owner of the house or the resident of the house was talking to the individual at the front door, the other one would enter through the rear and remove items of value from the residence.
Barto says now is when you need to keep an eye out for vagabonds, especially Lakatosz.
They do recycle through the area. They will be in the area for one to two, possibly three months at a time. Throughout the year and this is within the time frame coming up that she could possibly be back in the area.
Vagabonds usually have vehicles registered out of state like New York or New Jersey. They work in groups of two or three with a getaway driver. If at anytime you think you see Lakatosz or Bila Justice, do not approach either one. Get their vehicle information like the license plate and color of car. Write down where they are and what they're wearing.
Once you have any of that information, call Cambria County Emergency Services immediately to report it. Their number is 1-800-281-1680.
