NAKED AND DANGEROUS - Woman flaunts sexiness on social media to lure men into danger

A dangerous woman disguised as eye candy has been using social media to lure unsuspecting men into traps where they are robbed.

Superintendent Kirk Ricketts, commanding officer for the St Andrew South police, yesterday warned men to be careful when agreeing to link up with people they have met on social media.

"They have these ways to reach out to you in your DMs (inbox) and start these conversations, and from there they will send you even pictures. That is a way to lure you in to either be a friend or have a relationship, or to sell you something. But predominantly, one particular female we are looking at, you can see where she is scantily dressed and flaunts her wares to the public on social media in order to draw the attention of males," said Ricketts.

Information reaching THE STAR is that the female normally encourages men to meet in inner-city communities where they are ambushed and robbed, or at guest houses where her victims are fleeced of their properties. Ricketts said that based on investigations, the woman on their radar is not working alone.

"We have identified some members in a syndicate of robbers and we believe that we are closing in on them. We are currently looking at similar cases that reside within the St Andrew South Division as well as cases outside the division," Ricketts said.

In one of the most recent cases, a man employed to a state-run investigative body was robbed of a firearm and cash after he took a woman whom he met online to a guest house. The woman left with the man's clothes, forcing him to get assistance before leaving the property.

Ricketts told THE STAR that detectives are currently investigating four cases where the complainants luckily escaped death.

"If someone were to offer you something online, ensure that you don't meet anybody in areas that you will put yourself at risk," he said. "You can tell the person to meet you at a police station or at a well populated area. In that way you would be more safe than coming into communities that have been deemed hotspots."
