Pattaya, November 16, 2010, [PDN]: A wealthy Russian real estate agent staying at the Royal Cliff Beach Resort took two ladies, who had met in Walking Street’s Sirens’ Bar, up to his room at the exclusive hotel, hoping to have an energetic session, yesterday evening, Nov15. However, rather than savouring the ladies’ delights, the man was administered a Mickey Finn, which effectively knocked him out, allowing the two ladies to steal valuables to the tune of Bt10 million.

The victim, Mr. Valerii Gribunov, [46], recovered consciousness this morning, Nov 16, and finding both of his seductresses absent, checked the contents of his safe to find it ransacked. He immediately notified hotel security, who in turn notified Pol.Lt.Col. Taratep Tupanich, who sent a team to the five-star hotel to investigate.

Mr.Valerii told the police team that he had met the suspects at the Sirens’ bar in Walking Street, the previous night. Nov15. He related that the pair had been extremely attractive, friendly and seductive, to the extent that he decided to invite them back to his exclusive hotel room, agreeing to pay them Bt1,500 each. Mr.Valerii told the police that he thought he had a good deal at the price.

Arriving at the hotel reception, the ladies handed a copy of their ID cards to the receptionist to keep, as required by Thai law. They then went up to his room and began to make preparations. Just prior to the point where he expected to have sex, Mr.Valerii had been given a glass of water by one of them. He almost immediately began to feel dizzy and that was effectively all he could remember, having lost consciousness almost instantaneously. He told police that he was disappointed that he had not managed to have sex with either woman.

When he recovered consciousness some considerable time later, he continued, the women had vanished. Rushing to his room safe, he found to his extreme dismay that everything of value had disappeared.  The missing items included a ruby ring, a diamond watch, a bracelet, a necklace and a few other valuable items, totalling over Bt10 million in value.

Police spokesman Pol.Lt.Col. Taratep told press that Mr.Valerii Gribunov was a real estate businessman who had travelled to Thailand on business. He also said that his officers had checked the women’s ID card copies and found they were fake. Nevertheless, police were in the process of checking the hotel CCTV footage to find more information about the alleged thieves and are confident of bringing them to justice in a very short time.
