The New York City Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in finding a prostitute who they say stole over $500,000 worth of precious jewels from her John’s hotel room.
Gem trader Kurt Kaiser, 47, said he met Erika Cooper, 34, innocently enough at the end of a rough day at the Whiskey Bar on Central Park South on April 17.
The two ended up back at his hotel, where they had sex and he passed out, allowing her to slip out with his stash of diamonds.
Cooper grabbed his briefcase full of uncut diamonds, the certification documents, his passport, watch and sunglasses.
‘It’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever done in my life,’ he said.
Police want Cooper for grand larceny, but say they will not charge Kaiser for soliciting a prostitute.
An NYPD spokesperson told the The Heat that they had no idea about the $500 payoff.
‘The victim never told us that,’ the spokesperson said, likening the gift card purchase to a man buying dinner for a date.
Police added that Cooper, a Manhattan resident, also goes by the name of ‘Bianca Williams.’
She’s approximately 5’9″, weighs 120 lbs.,and has brown eyes and black hair.
Kaiser is offering a reward for his missing jewels.
‘If she gives them back, I probably won’t press charges,’ he said. ‘She can have someone drop them off at the 1st Precinct.’
