MIDTOWN — A man's $18,000 Rolex watch was stolen from his Midtown hotel room earlier this month by a woman he met at a nearby bar, police said Friday.
The 33-year-old met his date at Faces & Names, 159 W. 54th St., about 1:20 a.m. on Nov. 3, and invited her back to his room at the Park Central Hotel, police said.
The man woke up at 10 a.m., and found that the woman had slipped the Rolex off his wrist and left, according to the NYPD.
Police on Friday released surveillance photos from the Park Central and video from Faces & Names, which show a blonde woman in black pants and black shirt with a black purse escorting the man from the bar into the hotel.
Anyone with information is asked to call the NYPD's Crime Stoppers Hotline at 1(800)577-TIPS(8477), or for Spanish, 1(888)57-PISTA(74782). The public can also submit tips by logging onto the Crime Stoppers website or by texting 274637(CRIMES), then entering TIP577.
