A 42-year-old woman is facing 11 felony charges after Miami police say she targeted men in nightlife districts across the city, luring them with drinks and rides before making off with luxury watches worth as much as $170,000. One alleged victim, who says he woke up in an emergency room missing his Rolex, told reporters he believes he was drugged during the encounter.
Ayzha Flenoury was arrested Tuesday at Miami Police Department headquarters at 400 NW Second Ave., according to WPLG Local 10. Prosecutors filed three separate cases against her on the same day, alleging she stole watches and other valuables from three men between April and August. One of the men, who says he accepted a drink and a ride outside Club Space before waking up hospitalized without his $15,000 Rolex Submariner Date, told reporters, “I did consume a liquid that was supposed to be an alcohol, and I believe there might have been drugs in that liquid,” adding, “I'm lucky that I'm alive,” according to WPLG Local 10.
Three Cases, Three Neighborhoods, One Suspect
The earliest case dates to April 16, when a New Jersey man visiting Miami met Flenoury at a bar in Brickell and later went with her to Blackbird Ordinary on SW First Avenue and then to the Fortune House Hotel on SE 14th Terrace, per the same report. He told police he experienced memory loss after drinking alcohol in the hotel room, and that Flenoury had asked to hold his Bell & Ross BR Minuteur Tourbillon watch — valued at roughly $170,000 — before it and his credit cards went missing.
In the July case, a man reported that Flenoury and another woman stole his $15,000 Rolex after meeting him at Casa Neos along the Miami River, according to the outlet's report. The most recent alleged incident, on August 23, saw a man meet Flenoury and another woman outside Club Space in Park West; he accepted a ride in the women's BMW and a drink before the pair allegedly stole his Rolex Submariner Date and dropped him off at Carl's El Padre Motel on Biscayne Boulevard. Miami Fire Rescue personnel later transported him to North Shore Medical Center's emergency room, where officers found him, the report states.
Facial Recognition and a Rental Car Sealed the Case
Detectives with the Miami Police Department and Miami-Dade Police Department identified Flenoury by running surveillance footage through facial recognition software, which was then cross-referenced with rental car agency video showing her returning a silver Honda in the same outfit worn during one of the thefts, according to WSVN 7News. That surveillance trail allegedly linked her to the July theft, when she is accused of fleeing an apartment with the $15,000 Rolex shortly before returning the rental vehicle.
Court and inmate records in Miami-Dade County show Flenoury's arrest history includes prostitution cases dating back to 2005, giving prosecutors a two-decade record to draw on as they build the current cases, per Local 10's reporting. In total, she faces eight charges in the April case — including first-degree grand theft, burglary of an occupied dwelling, two counts of fraudulent credit-card use under $100 and four counts of fraudulent credit-card use exceeding $100,000 — plus burglary of an occupied dwelling and third-degree grand theft in the July case, and third-degree grand theft in the August case.
Bail Tied Up by Nebbia Hold
Bond was set at $21,501 in the April case, $2,500 in the July case and $2,500 in the August case, for a total of $26,501, according to WSVN 7News. A Miami-Dade Circuit judge attached a Nebbia hold to that bail, requiring Flenoury to prove that any funds used to post bond do not come from stolen goods, fraudulent credit-card transactions or other illicit activity — a mechanism authorized under Florida Statute § 903.046 and Florida Rule of Criminal Procedure 3.131 that can keep a defendant behind bars even after bail is technically posted.
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office consolidated the 11 felony charges from the three arrest warrants under a single presiding judge, Circuit Judge Ellen Sue Venzer, who will oversee combined bail sufficiency hearings and pretrial proceedings, per the same report. Under Florida Statute § 812.014, grand theft penalties scale with the value stolen: third-degree grand theft, covering losses between $750 and $20,000, carries up to five years in prison, while first-degree grand theft involving $100,000 or more — the category covering the Bell & Ross watch — carries up to 30 years in state prison, according to The Florida Senate. Burglary of an occupied dwelling is separately classified as a second-degree felony under Florida Statute § 810.02, punishable by up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Part of a Broader Pattern in South Florida Nightlife
The venues tied to the three cases — Blackbird Ordinary in Brickell, Casa Neos along the Miami River, Club Space in Park West and Carl's El Padre Motel on Biscayne Boulevard — span some of Miami's busiest entertainment and hospitality corridors, illustrating how widely the alleged scheme reached across the city over five months.
Flenoury's arrest echoes other recent cases involving so-called “bad date” watch theft schemes in South Florida. Last September, Miami police arrested 25-year-old Angelina Chenel Esty, who allegedly met men at Miami bars and accompanied them to Brickell apartments before stealing $20,000 Rolex watches, with victims reporting memory loss consistent with suspected drugging. In August 2025, Miami Beach and City of Miami police separately dismantled a more violent scheme, arresting a duo accused of robbing clubgoers at gunpoint of high-end timepieces, including a $60,000 Audemars Piguet, and recovering more than $176,000 in stolen watches and cash.
It remains unclear whether investigators will identify or charge the second, unnamed woman described as accompanying Flenoury in both the July and August incidents.
