New York City police are on the hunt Monday for three suspects accused of luring men to motels under the premise of meeting a woman before bounding them with duct tape and robbing them of their clothing, cash and personal property.
The five incidents happened from July 7 to 26 in the city’s Bronx borough involving victims between the ages of 31 and 48, investigators say.
“In each incident the male victim communicates via Facebook with an alleged female and agrees to meet her at a motel,” the NYPD said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. “The victim proceeds to go to the motel at the agreed upon time where he meets an unidentified female.
“Once both are inside of the hotel room, the female instructs the male to take a shower, and while he is in the bathroom she lets into the hotel room another female and a male,” the statement continued. “When the victim exits the bathroom the second female and the male both display firearms at the victim and threaten to shoot him.
