South African Police have issued a warning about an organised syndicate operating in Gauteng and the North West, targeting men at nightclubs, taverns, concerts, and other alcohol-serving venues.The method is disturbingly simple—and that’s why it works.Young women are allegedly used to identify potential victims, strike up friendly conversations, and spike drinks. Victims are then persuaded to leave with them to hotels, guesthouses, or private homes. Once the victim is incapacitated, syndicate members step in to clean the place out—vehicles, phones, cash, the works.In some tragic cases, the substances used have had fatal consequences.
