New York City cops busted a woman who managed to hide a stolen Rolex in her vagina during a recent rendezvous with an Australian tourist.
Brenton Price invited Shacarye Tims, the suspected thief, up to his Manhattan hotel room on Oct. 19 for what he thought was a harmless massage after meeting her at a bar, the New York Daily News reported.
At one point Tims, 25, asked Price to remove his $25,000 Rolex because it was scratching her, police told the newspaper. Things were fine until Price noticed 10 minutes later his watch was no longer on the nightstand he placed it on.
Tims distracted Price by suggesting he look for the designer watch behind the table, leaving her free to make a run for it from the Holiday Inn room. But she wasn't fast enough and Price caught up with the alleged thief in the lobby, the Daily News reported.
When the Australian confronted Tims, she reportedly smacked his face several times, "causing him to suffer swelling and bruising," the Manhattan District Attorney's Office said.
As for the Rolex, it took several attempts for police to get the Georgia native to remove the watch from her private part, including threats to have it forcibly removed at a hospital, an unnamed police source told the Daily News.
A female officer told prosecutors she witnessed Tims remove the Rolex "out of her vaginal cavity" and give it to her, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the newspaper.
Tims was charged with robbery and grand larceny and was held on $10,000 bond.
David B. Epstein, her attorney, accused police of bullying Tims into giving up the Rolex.
"It should shock the conscious of any right-thinking New Yorker to learn that a young lady visiting from out of town was bullied by authorities to retrieve an object from the most intimate part of her body," Price told the Daily News.
This is not the first time police have come across women who hid stolen objects inside their private parts. A trio from Nevada was arrested for doing the exact same thing with watches - also Rolexes - they allegedly stole from men they met at a casino.
