That worked for a couple of weeks, until two balaclava-masked dudes with pistols waltzed into police headquarters in Northern Cape Province, got the drop on all officers present, and robbed the cops.
The Daring Duo got away clean with about 370,000 rand - about $50,570 US. Nobody chased 'em because "responding officers" were, ummm..."tied up." Disarmed, too.
Strange, the Victims All Have These Little Smiles
Cops in Bogota, Colombia, are having a tough time wrapping up the last members of a criminal gang. The newspapers love this gang, the people like reading about 'em, and even the victims don't seem too angry about their losses.
In the media, this crime wave is known as "The Taste Me Robberies," and these not-quite-hardened gangsters are called "The Lollipop Lovelies." All the gang members are described as very attractive, "gifted" young women in their late teens and early twenties. They hang out around ritzy bars and restaurants, hook up with well-heeled business dudes, and once they're in the schmuck's car, whip off their blouses and invite the guys to "taste me."
So far, the cops haven't heard of any refusals. After a couple minutes of presumed bliss, the next thing the victims know is that time has passed, and they're sitting in a deserted place without cars, wallets, watches, jewelry, or plausible stories for their wives. One thing the police couldn't figure out was why, after a flurry of publicity, guys were still falling for the Lollipops.
Finally, after three of the girls were captured, police learned they had gotten hold of some very strong narcotic capsules, and were mixing them into a liquid solution which they painted on their breasts. And after evaluating the suspects, they kinda guessed the reason why the "victims" weren't too angry.
