Next month, a suspected prostitute is scheduled to appear in court on charges that she stole a $35K gold necklace and a $85K Rolex watch from a Bellagio Las Vegas hotel patron.

The event happened on July 26, 2022. However, Maiah Meleschi, the suspect, wasn't taken into custody on a warrant accusing her of the crime until a few days prior, on July 3.

After he had finished playing blackjack, the man and woman had crossed paths on the hotel's casino floor.

At roughly five in the morning, Meleschi approached him, and the two proceeded up to his hotel room.

Two Engaged in Sexual Activity

For their sex, he gave her $1,000, according to the police. At that point, the man nodded off. At midday, he awoke to find Meleschi gone. Along with it were his chain, his Rolex, and about $3K in cash.

He made the cops aware. The culprit took a while to be identified by Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department (LVMPD) officers. They saw footage from a security camera showing her meeting the man and them walking to the hotel's elevators to go to his room.

According to Las Vegas TV station KLAS, she was also seen in a video exiting the hotel wearing the fancy watch in addition to the chain.

Meleschi faced charges of two burglaries, grand larceny, and possessing stolen property. After being arrested at the Clark County Detention Center, she was later freed.

August 8 is her next scheduled court date. Should she be found guilty, she might have to serve time in jail.

There's been no indication on what happened to the lost money or the pricey watch. However, authorities alleged that Meleschi sold the necklace for $11,600 at a nearby pawn shop.

Meleschi was previously detained, according to LVMPD police, for trespassing and prostitution, KLAS reported.

The individual was from an unidentified hometown and was on a visit to Las Vegas.

An explanation of trick rolls

The theft was dubbed a "trick roll" by LVMPD. That's the term frequently used to characterize the act of a sex worker stealing money or valuables from a customer.

Officers with the LVMPD get numerous reports of trick rolls. They frequently happen in hotels.

In September of last year, for example, a guest at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas woke up to discover that two women had taken his $20K Rolex watch and $120,000 in cash. He had recently hit the big win at the casino.

Coriana Singelton, 29, and Marriah Vanderwaal, 32, were named as the suspects. They were accused of conspiring, breaking and entering, and grand larceny. How the cases against them were decided is unknown.
