Police in Mombasa are holding in custody a woman suspected of intoxicating victims before swindling them of their belongings.
The suspect, Joyce Aluta, was cornered by members of the public at Kisimani area in Nyali on Thursday night, just a few hours past midnight.
According to reports by witnesses, Aluta has been intoxicating her victims before stealing their personal items such as mobile phones, watches, shoes and wallets.
“The woman who poses as a sex worker has been intoxicating her clients then robbing off their belongings such as mobile phones, watches, shoes and wallets,” Abdalla Abdulrahman who exposed the woman stated.
