A woman has been arrested after she allegedly stole five Rolex watches from her date, hiding four of them inside her vagina.
Delajurea Brookens, 29, of Northeast Miami-Dade, met businessman Ramon Diaz last Tuesday night (January 8) in a club, before heading back to his hotel room.
The night didn’t really go to plan though – for him, at least – as Brookens allegedly made a run for it with five watches valued at $108,000.
As reported by the Miami Herald, Miami Springs police say the couple left Mango’s nightclub in Miami Beach to head back to Diaz’s hotel room.
While Diaz freshened up in the bathroom though, preparing for the night’s antics, Brookens got down and dirty in a slightly different way.
Because when the businessman came out of the bathroom, he noticed his date had disappeared along with a Crown Royal whiskey bag containing five Rolex watches.
Diaz wasn’t letting the alleged thief escape that easily though; he then reportedly ran after his date and tried to stop her when he saw the bag inside her purse.
As she hailed a taxi outside the Clarion Suites, Diaz demanded his watches back. However, Brookens was determined to keep hold of the goods and allegedly hit him over the head with an unknown object.
Police said, according to the Miami Herald:
Diaz became dazed and fell to the ground.
As all this happened, a hotel employee called the police who attended the scene immediately. Upon a search of the surrounding area, they found Brookens in a nearby alley.
During the arrest, officers could only find one of the stolen Rolexes and couldn’t find the other four despite conducting a search of the area.
Once inside the police car, Brookens – who has a tattoo on her left arm that reads ‘Whore’ – spat, banged her head against the window and bit officers, police say.
The woman was charged on Wednesday (January 9) with grand theft, resisting an officer with violence, possession of cocaine and battery. She was also charged with criminal mischief after she urinated on the floor of her holding cell.
So where were the other stolen watches? Well, this is where it gets interesting because during a strip search, corrections officers said they discovered Brookens had hidden them inside her vagina.
Police said, according to the Miami Herald:
Four Rolex watches which were found in Delajurea Brookens’ vaginal cavity.
Brookens was released from jail after posting a $22,000 bond.
A hearing is scheduled for February 7.
