Theft of Expensive Watches
According to the police, a woman who is suspected of being a prostitute stole a Patek Philippe watch from a man who was staying at a hotel on the Las Vegas Strip earlier this month. The watch has a worth of approximately one hundred thousand dollars. The man is under the impression that the suspect drugged him.
An undercover Las Vegas Metro officer found the woman, who was ultimately revealed to be Sarah Richards, 32, from Las Vegas, at a different Strip hotel later on. Richards is a resident of Las Vegas. According to the cops, she started talking to him about prostitution when they first met.
According to KLAS, she was charged with prostitution-related offenses based on what she said throughout the discussion. According to KLAS, she was additionally charged with burglary and grand larceny for the theft of the watch.
The owner of the watch stated that Richards and he had their first encounter at the bar of the hotel. After that, the two of them made their way up to his hotel room. According to KLAS, the man later told the police that Richards had told him she needed “help with money.”
After they were alone in the room, he handed her anywhere from one thousand to several thousand dollars. After some time had passed, he dozed out inside the chamber. A couple of hours later, when he finally dozed off, he noticed that his watch was no longer on his wrist. It was not possible to determine which hotel it was.

Another Patek Phillipe watch with an estimated worth of $50,000 was taken from a hotel at the Encore at Wynn Las Vegas a month ago, along with $50,500 in cash. Both items were stolen from the same room. The suspect was detained for investigation.
Her name was determined to be Anniajah Pratt, and she was 23 years old. KVVU, a different local TV station, stated that she was arrested and charged with grand larceny.
A gentleman who was staying at the Encore was the owner of the cash and watch. After spending some time together in a casino bar earlier in the evening, it is believed that he invited the woman to stay in his hotel room.
