A warning to men out on the town 
10:37 PM CST on Wednesday, February 20, 2008
Inside one of the hottest hotel night clubs in Dallas, three women allegedly targeted men and spiked their drinks with some type of drug.
“Shortly after meeting them,” Dallas police Detective Mark Jenkins said. “Then the rest of the night is a blur until they wake up the next morning and find their property is missing.”
Jenkins said all of the men wore expensive watches.
These unusual robberies are happening in Houston too. At the Magnolia Hotel downtown, an out-of-town businessman from California recently called police after he said his Rolex had been stolen with $400 in cash.

He said the suspect had to be a woman he met at the hotel bar who must have put a drug in his drink.
Detective Jenkins said these suspects are flirtatious, and they’re professional crooks.
“They are more or less forcing themselves on the men, and they get real aggressive with the men,” he said.
These are surveillance pictures taken of the female suspects in Dallas walking in and out of the hotel.
There have been at least 8-cases reported there since November.
This man, who didn’t want to be identified said he was targeted at another bar.
“She kind of kept looking at my watch," he said.
These women didn’t drug him, but he said they used their charm to coax him into their car.
Then: “They started beating me,” he said. “I couldn’t find my watch until one of them said, ‘take out the knife, take out the knife.’ One started screamingm, ‘stab him, stab him’ — that’s when i got scared and decided to get out of the car.”
In Dallas, one woman has been arrested and charged, but HPD said getting convictions is difficult.
In most cases, prosecutors don’t have enough evidence or any witnesses.
So a word of advice to men out on the town: Beware.
