"It happened that after a night of merry-making, the reveller who was on a job-related assignment decided to visit a popular joint where, after he had enough for the day, left for his hotel room in the company of the damsel he had met at the joint," read the statement in part.
"In the clip, the lady is captured leaving the hotel room some minutes before noon, having stolen two mobile phones, a watch and ATM cards of the helpless victim."
DCI documented that the woman withdrew all the money from the bank accounts. Police are yet to establish how she got to know the PINs of the accounts.
However, it is believed that the man may have given the PINs while drugged.
Police have launched a manhunt for the woman with a video of the incident being circulated for investigative purposes.
"As the festive season gains traction, members of the public, especially those flocking various drinking joints are encouraged to remain alert as not every reveller is up to something good."
"Cases of drugging by way of spiking frothy waters are on the rise."
