The two young men approached the Hispanic victims, claiming they were from ICE, before they demanded them to turn over their cash, police said.
Baceanu and Alexandru then fled in a blue Audi Q7 SUV that was later spotted by police in Fullerton, leading to their arrests.
Anaheim authorities believe the pair have committed similar robberies where they presented badges to other Hispanic victims, spoke to them in Spanish and took off with their property.
