Hollywood cops hunt 2 women who spiked drinks, stole $70G in Rolex watches

Hollywood police are hunting for two women who drugged their victims' drinks and stole their Rolex watches.

The victims, both men in their early 50s, invited the suspects to their house after meeting them at the Porterhouse Bar in Sunny Isles on Jan. 7, NBC Miami reported.

The women, who are believed to be in their early to mid 20s, made them drinks in the East Hollywood home. The next thing their victims remember is becoming sleepy and waking up without their Rolex watches, leading them to believe the beverages had been spiked.

One of the men also found that five watches had been stolen from his safe.

"Our victims believed they were drugged, they did not wake up until the following morning," Hollywood Police spokeswoman Meredith Elrich said.

"The total of the loss that was from this grand theft was approximately $70,000," she added.

The Hollywood Police Department also sent out a general warning on Facebook.

“This is a Public Service Announcement — If you don't watch your drink, you don't know if anything was put in it.”

A security camera captured images of the two women as they left the home and police have appealed for anyone with information to contact them.

As much as I hate thieves and think they're lower than scum.....cases like this screams pathetic to me. These "gents" sporting these Rolex watches clearly aren't smart cookies to begin with. Hope the perps are brought to justice but man.....use some common sense.

Thank goodness for that story. I was just about to invite a couple of 20 somethings over to the house for drinks. And give them the combination to my watch safe.

Whew...crisis averted.

These 'men' knew up front that they were on very scary grounds when they started.
They were NOT thinking with their real brains.

Glad I read this.......just kicked the two young women out of my house !!

As said my first thought were how the hell did they get into the safe ?? Some sad old blokes who have been showing off and probably showing off their wealth.. Next time shut the safe before you fall asleep.

Cheeky little so and so's though..

Please smell the rat, when 20 somethings ask two 50 somethings out for drinks... common sense goes out the window sometimes.

But doesn't that make it harder for us fifty somethings to pick up twenty somethings?

Good reality check. A doofus (or 2 doofii) with (a) Rollie(s) is just a doofus (or doofii) with (a) Rollie(s). Never forget that.
