An illegal immigrant and international criminal fugitive managed to get a legal New York State driver’s license to pull off a jewelry heist – using the name of British soccer great David Beckham, Nassau County officials said Tuesday.

The Romanian national, who snuck across the US border via Mexico in 2022, is part of a “gypsy” crime ring and has used so many aliases that cops don’t know his real name, County Executive Bruce Blakeman said at a press conference.

“We were visited, apparently, by a celebrity in Nassau County – David Beckham,” Blakeman told reporters. “Although this isn’t a soccer player, this is a celebrity because this individual is wanted in many countries.”

Nassau cops said the fugitive and his girlfriend, identified as Veta Rostas, walked into Kravitz Jewelry in Oceanside on Oct. 23 and slipped out with an $11,000 diamond bracelet.

Cops used face-recognition technology from security surveillance cameras and released an intelligence bulletin that reached a crime analyst in the UK who ID’d the fugitive.

Nassau County cops were then able to track him down and busted him on Sunday for the jewelry heist.

The scandal over the immigrant’s driver’s license is just the latest example of illegals getting legit driving privileges, primarily in migrant friend sanctuary states.

In September, Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt flipped out after cops in his state nabbed an immigrant with an Empire State commercial driver’s license that bizarrely identified the migrant as “No Name Given.”

The migrant was swept up with 125 others in a raid.

“If New York wants to hand out CDLs to illegal immigrants with ‘No Name Given,’ that’s on them,” Stitt railed online. “The moment they cross into Oklahoma, they answer to our laws.”

New York DMV officials confirmed to The Post that the license was issued on April 14, and maintained it was “issued in accordance with all proper procedures.”

“It is not uncommon for individuals from other countries to have only one name,” the agency said. 

But that wasn’t the only example: Earlier this month, an illegal immigrant and wanted terrorist from Uzbekistan was nabbed in Kansas with a legal commercial license from Pennsylvania.

Akhror Bozorov, 31, was nabbed entering the US illegally but released under Biden administration policies, the feds said. 

“This should go without saying,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said at the time. “But terrorist illegal aliens should not be operating 18-wheelers on America’s highways.”

Gov. Kathy Hochul and officials at DMV did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the latest case. 

“Beckham” has now been turned over to federal immigration officials for deportation — even though only one thing is certain about the name on his driver’s license.

“I’m sure that’s not his real name,” Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said Tuesday.
