Women Accused of Drugging Men and Robbing Them After Nights Out in Gauteng

Authorities are searching for two women allegedly involved in a disturbing pattern of crimes in which men are reportedly drugged, rendered unconscious, and robbed after social encounters at popular nightlife spots in Gauteng. The most recent incidents have raised serious safety concerns among residents, particularly men who frequent bars, clubs, and entertainment venues in Johannesburg and Pretoria.

According to information received, the suspects are believed to have targeted men after a night out at Nostra, a well-known venue in Bryanston. The women allegedly socialised with the victims, gained their trust, and were later invited back to their homes. It is at this point, police believe, that the victims’ drinks were spiked with unknown substances, causing them to lose consciousness for several hours.

While the victims were allegedly incapacitated, the suspects are accused of systematically stealing valuable personal belongings from the homes. Items reported stolen in these incidents include large sums of cash, bank cards, mobile phones, laptops, jewellery, designer bags, and expensive cologne. In some cases, victims only realised the extent of the theft many hours later, when they eventually regained consciousness.

One victim has now come forward publicly to share his experience in the hope that it will assist law enforcement and warn others. He claims that on 23 December 2025, one of the women visited his residence in Pretoria North after they had been drinking together. According to the victim, the evening appeared normal, with no immediate signs of danger or suspicious behaviour.

However, he alleges that shortly after consuming drinks together, he lost consciousness and only woke up around 2pm the following day. Upon waking, he discovered that his apartment had been almost completely emptied of valuable items. The woman had allegedly disappeared without a trace.

The victim estimates that goods worth over R114,000 were stolen during the incident. Among the missing items are his iPhone, work laptop, work-issued phone, alcohol, stationery, and various personal belongings. Even more concerning, the victim claims that R25,000 was fraudulently withdrawn from his credit card using a banking app that had been accessed through his stolen phone. How the suspects managed to bypass security measures remains unclear.

Due to the loss of his phone, the victim says he was unable to act immediately or access crucial information. It was only after receiving a replacement phone that he managed to recover deleted images of the woman from the phone’s deleted items folder. These images have since been handed over to the police as part of the investigation.

A formal case was opened at Pretoria North Police Station on 24 December 2025, under CAS number 321/12/2025. The victim has confirmed that police are now in possession of the suspect’s photographs and are actively investigating the matter.

The victim has appealed to the public for assistance, stressing that this is not just about recovering stolen property, but about preventing potentially fatal consequences in the future. He has warned that repeated incidents of drink spiking could eventually result in the death of a victim, especially someone with a weaker immune system or underlying medical condition.

Police are urging anyone who may recognise the woman or have information about the whereabouts of the suspects to come forward. Authorities believe the suspects may be operating as part of a broader group targeting unsuspecting individuals across Gauteng.

Law enforcement officials have reiterated the importance of personal safety when socialising, advising people to never leave drinks unattended, be cautious about inviting strangers into their homes, and to seek immediate medical attention if they suspect they have been drugged.

Members of the public who may have relevant information are encouraged to contact Pretoria North Police Station or their nearest SAPS office. Police have also reminded the public not to take matters into their own hands, but to allow the investigation to proceed through proper legal channels.

As investigations continue, residents are urged to remain vigilant and to look out for one another, particularly during the festive season when social gatherings and nightlife activity increase significantly.
