MIDTOWN — A woman stole a man’s $10,000 watch after he left the room they were sharing at a Midtown hotel, the NYPD said.

The 50-year-old victim told police he was with a woman he’d just met inside the Hampton Inn Manhattan at 116 W. 31st St., between Sixth and Seventh avenues, around 12:30 a.m. on June 19 when he left the room they were in, police said.

When he returned, he discovered the woman had taken his $10,000 watch from his pants and fled, the NYPD said. The brand of the watch was unclear.

Police are now searching for a woman in her mid-20s standing 5-foot-5 and weighing about 110 pounds.

Hilton Hotels and Resorts, which owns the hotel, did not immediately respond to request for comment Friday.

Anyone with information in regards to this incident is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 800-577-TIPS.
