Law enforcement and All American Bail Bonds officials have issued a bounty for a North
Hollywood man after he allegedly assaulted a bail agent before missing his court date.
Ion Gandrabura, 29, was originally arrested on May 20 by Los Angeles Police Department officers.
“He was found in the passenger seat, inside of a car that was reportedly stolen and officers found what they believed to be heroin residue in the car,” said Inessa Chavez, vice president of All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita. “Also inside the vehicle, officers found two drivers licenses and credit cards matching the names of those on the drivers licenses but had Gandrabura’s picture.”
Gandrabura was booked for suspicion of Grand Theft Auto and an additional warrant was found in the amount of $70,000.00 dollars on charges of Forgery.
“Gandrabura was bailed out of $105,000 two days after he was arrested,” Chavez said. “Once Gandrabura was released from jail, the two bail agents that bailed him out were forced out of the lobby by an LAPD officer. One of our bail agents was assaulted in the altercation that occurred between Gandrabura, his friend and some LAPD officers.”
Gandrabura missed his June 12 court date on the charge of Grand Theft Auto at the Van Nuys Court.
He also missed another court date the next day.
Officials believe Gandrabura may be involved with additional fraud rings and he may have a severe heroin problem, officials said. He may have fled the United States to Moscow, Romania or Armenia.
Gandrabura’s wife, Lora Paladi, who is wanted on fraud charges may be traveling with him.
Paladi has a warrant amount of $140,000.
“It’s just a matter of time before we find the wanted fugitive,” Chavez said.
All American Bail Bonds in Santa Clarita have a nearly 100 percent fugitive recovery rate.
There is currently a $5,000 reward for the capture of Gandrabura and Paladi. Fugitive recovery agents wishing to negotiate a bounty may contact West Coast Fugitive Recovery Services.
