Seduction Scheme Leads to Arrests: Moroccan Gang Used Women to Lure and Rob Victims
Tuesday 5 March 2019, by
This weekend, 4 people were arrested by the Gendarmerie of Aïn Atiq. These individuals are accused of criminal gang formation, theft, possession of bladed weapons and prostitution. To attract their victims, they opted for seduction.
According to Al Akhbar, this gang, which includes two minors and two girls, used the seduction process: two girls would attract men to isolated places, before these, trapped, and threatened with bladed weapons, were relieved of their belongings, or brutalized if they refused to comply.
The investigation, according to the same source, began following a complaint from a victim. This was followed by the arrest of the two girls. Then they denounced one of the accomplices, still a minor. The latter allowed the arrest of the 4th member of the gang.
The searches in the homes made it possible to find several stolen objects, including mobile phones, bank cards and money. Eight more victims came to join the first man who filed a complaint and also recognized the attackers who were brought before the courts on Wednesday.
