Florida Woman Caught Pepper-Spraying Wealthy Hotel Guests to Steal Luxury Watches

Esther Torres, a 20-year-old from Florida, was apprehended for her audacious scheme of luring wealthy men to hotel rooms, where she would pepper-spray them and steal their expensive watches. Living her own version of "Ocean's Eleven," she is now facing the repercussions of her actions. Following two robberies in late March, she received a sentence of five years probation instead of imprisonment. In her first act at the Breakwater Hotel in Miami Beach, she stole a Hugo Boss watch and over $200 from a victim. Later, at the Fontainebleau Hotel, she targeted another man, taking a luxurious $22,000 Rolex Submariner after leaving him temporarily blinded. Surveillance footage captured her fleeing both locations. Mitch Novick, a nearby hotel owner, identified her through shared footage. Finally arrested during a traffic stop in May while accompanied by a child, Torres's bold exploits serve as a cautionary tale against crime.
