A motodop was left penniless and probably a bit embarrassed after being robbed by a group of prostitutes while engaged in negotiations with them on Friday.

The man was inquiring about the price of their services when one of the sex workers gave him a hug.

Rather than an unsolicited gesture of affection, however, the hug was actually pretence to slip the wallet out of the man’s pocket, which the vigilant motodop immediately noticed.

When the man raised the alarm, the group of women scattered, and police were only able to apprehend two of the culprits.
