A 24-year-old woman has been arrested in Miami after allegedly stealing two luxury watches, including a Rolex valued at approximately $37,000, from the home of a man she met through Tinder. The woman has denied taking the watches and told investigators that she had been drugged and could not remember what happened later that night.
Tinder Date Ends With Luxury Watches Reported Missing
According to an arrest affidavit, Alexia Jocelyn Flores met the man through Tinder before the two went out for dinner on Sept. 19. They later returned to his Miami residence at about 11:21 p.m., where they spent several hours drinking.
The man reportedly asked Flores to leave later that night. While she changed clothes in the bedroom and bathroom, he remained in the living room. At around 2:43 a.m., he said he escorted her toward the building’s elevator.
After returning to his apartment, the man allegedly discovered that two watches were missing from his bedside table. One of the watches was identified as a Rolex worth about $37,000.
Police Review Surveillance Footage
The man told police that he did not actually see Flores take the watches. Investigators subsequently reviewed surveillance footage from the apartment building.
The footage reportedly showed the man and Flores entering the building together. Investigators also said the woman was later seen leaving the building by herself after obtaining surveillance footage related to the incident.
Flores was arrested on Sept. 23 and charged with second-degree grand theft. She was taken to the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center following her arrest.
Flores Denies Theft and Says She Was Drugged
During an interview with Miami police, Flores denied stealing the watches. According to the affidavit, she told investigators that she believed she had been drugged and could not remember what happened afterward.
Police reportedly found no supporting report for her claim of being drugged. Flores subsequently pleaded not guilty to the charge on Sept. 24.
The case remains ongoing, and the allegations against Flores have not been established as fact in court.
