LAUDERDALE-BY-THE-SEA, Fla. (WFLA) — Detectives in Broward County said they were looking for two women who were suspected of stealing from a man while he slept.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office said in a Thursday news release deputies were called to a home at South Ocean Boulevard in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea about a reported theft around 5 p.m. Monday.

Investigators learned that at around 3 a.m. Sunday, a man had met two women outside the Rooftop Bar in Fort Lauderdale where they exchanged numbers.

Around an hour later, the victim met the two women at his place for a few drinks, but once they got inside, the man fell asleep, the sheriff’s office said.

According to the deputies, the man woke up to find that his two-tone Submariner Blueface Rolex watch, valued at $25,000, and his credit card were missing.

As of this report, the sheriff’s office was still looking for the two women, who are described as being in their mid-20s and having black hair. One of the women was said to have a scorpion tattoo on her left thigh.
