CHELSEA — A guest at the chic Dream Hotel had more than $100,000 in watches and cash stolen from his hotel room's safe after he brought a woman home for a late-night rendezvous, police said.
The 35-year-old man brought the woman back to his room at the hotel at 355 W. 16th St. at about 2:30 a.m. on April 4, and placed his $46,500 18-carat white gold Rolex Sky Dweller watch in the room's safe, police said.
When he woke up later that morning at about 9 a.m., the woman was gone — and so was everything in the safe, including the watch, an $11,000 Rolex GMT Master II watch and $47,500 in cash, according to police.
In all, $105,000 worth of goods was stolen, police said.
The NYPD is now looking for the woman, who is described as 5-foot-2 with short black hair.
Staff at the hotel did not respond to a request for comment.
Other notable crimes in this week's NYPD blotter for the 10th Precinct include:
