A Florida woman allegedly seduced and drugged a man she met at a casino in an elaborate ruse to steal his nearly $100,000 Rolex — a crime authorities say she’s committed against several other victims.

Lynda Mae Crouse, 32, is accused of preying on deep-pocketed bachelors she meets out, flirtatiously convincing them to take her home or to a hotel and then drugging them and taking off with their high-end watches before they come to, according to Broward County arrest records.

The siren was arrested Friday for the April 12 timepiece theft of a man she met at the Carousel Club in Hallandale Beach around midnight.

The pair exchanged contact info before departing the club and the man later sent an Uber to Crouse’s home to bring her back to his place, according to court documents.

The two then began to drink. But as the man stepped away to change his clothes, he began to feel “funny” and “extremely tired,” a probable cause affidavit states. 

The incapacitated victim said the last thing he heard before passing out was a clapping sound coming from his living room and Crouse excusing herself to leave, according to the affidavit. 

After coming to hours later, the man ran to check on his watch, having suspected that the clapping sound was the woman opening the lid of his Rolex box, the affidavit states. 

His worst suspicions turned out to be true after he found that his 40 mm diamond-bedazzled Rolex Presidential – valued at $98,4000 – was gone, the document states.

The victim later identified Crouse in a photo lineup, according to court documents.

The apparent femme fatale has four other open cases in Dade County in which the victims shared a similar experience of taking Crouse home and waking up out of a fog to find their pricey wrist jewelry missing.

In one case, a victim’s toxicology report revealed he had been drugged with zolpidem, a sleep aid known to cause rapid sedation, confusion and memory impairment especially when combined with alcohol, NBC Miami reported.

Crouse was charged with grand theft and her bond was set at $2,000, which she paid, records show.

No attorney information was available. She could not be reached for comment.
