Fourteen cell phones, a refrigerator, a stove and two 42-inch televisions. It was what a 21-year-old woman had in a house in San Justo that was under construction and had no numbering. There were also vials with drops of Clonazepam used as a sleeping pill to numb the victims. I knew them through social networks and seduced them. At the time of the meeting, he gave them something to drink and sedated them. He acted with a support vehicle to escape quickly with money and even appliances.
The investigation began months ago, after the complaint of a 46-year-old man from Mataderos. He said he met the now-detained woman through the social network Badoo and then invited her on a date at his home.
The robbery occurred during the first physical encounter after dinner, where the guest added drops of clonazepam to the owner of the house and put him to sleep so that he could carry out the robbery without any resistance.
When he woke up, the man realized that he was missing cash he had from savings. Also appliances and other items of value.

It was thus that through the collection of images from security cameras and field tasks, it was possible to identify the accused, who acted with a support vehicle to quickly leave the place and take the stolen objects.
The clues found an address in La Matanza, a house without numbering and under construction, located on Brigadier Juan Manuel de Rosas Avenue (Route 3) and Lezica. At that location, City Police officers arrested the woman. They also found stolen money, refrigerators, stoves and televisions.

Some appliances I used. Others sold them to get rid of the test and make more money. The stolen money was also spent on construction materials for the house in which he lived.
The National Criminal and Correctional Court 35, in charge of Osvaldo Daniel Rappa, secretary 120 of Guillermo Carlos Martínez Farré, requested an exhortation to the Court of Guarantees 3 of La Matanza to obtain the search warrant.
Also during that raid, officers seized two bottles of the sedative Clonazepam in drops, with which the woman slept her victims. Therefore, the magistrate ordered the arrest of the woman for theft and unlawful deprivation of liberty.

In recent months, different cases of robberies of apartments with the modality "black widow" – women who seduce a person to enter their homes and then put them to sleep to rob them – made headlines in the City of Buenos Aires.
At the end of April, three raids were carried out at homes in Villa Lugano and Constitución in which five women (two aged 24 and the remaining aged 20, 23 and 31) and one man (22) were arrested.
In total, officers seized US$4,157, 100 Canadian dollars, £5, 577,000 pesos, 18 cell phones, clothing, a camera, a video console, marijuana sting, two chargers, 28 phone cases, two watches, a 9-millimeter sheath, a 9-millimeter projectile, a 45mm sheath, a 12/70 shotgun cartridge, a 45mm lead and tablets of Clonazepam and other medicines.

On the criminal acts, the accused implemented the same methodology: they agreed appointments with the victims and at one point in the meeting they put sleeping pills in their drinks. When they fell asleep, the women stole valuables and ran away.
The detainees were found to have at least four criminal acts. One was the best known, held on March 18, in Guatemala at 5800, where two women seduced an American tourist in a dance venue and then went to his home. There they put him to sleep and stole his belongings.
