A 31-year-old female officer of the Airport Security Police (PSA) in Argentina has been arrested, suspected of being part of a criminal scheme known as the " black widow ", where women lure men, put sedatives in their drinks and then steal their valuables.
According to Argentine media, Lucía Fernanda Díaz Da Mota was arrested at her apartment in Ezeiza by investigators from the Buenos Aires Provincial Police.
The victim is a 64-year-old man from Quilmes, identified as Cayetano. The pair met through the dating app Bumble, where they had arranged to meet. They first had dinner together and then went to the man's apartment.
According to investigations, after consuming a drink, the 64-year-old lost consciousness. When he woke up a few hours later, he showed symptoms of poisoning and ended up in the hospital.
When he returned to his apartment, he discovered that numerous valuables had been stolen. The building's security cameras filmed the 31-year-old leaving the building at around 3:34 a.m. with a suitcase, a backpack and two bags, where she allegedly put the stolen items.
Investigators were able to identify the suspect through video footage, analysis of communications, and evidence collected during the investigation.
Authorities confirmed that Díaz Da Mota was an employee of the Airport Security Police, but was on medical leave due to psychiatric treatment.
During the search of her apartment, police seized four cell phones, men's perfume, two suitcases, six men's wristwatches, and clothing allegedly used during the robbery.
