That’s the translation of Beso de Sueño, although in English it is better known as a Mickey Finn. Read on: three women were arrested in Almería for administering laced drinks to men in order to rob them whilst they lay unconscious.

The arrested ladies, Karima H, Yolanda T.L. (both 26) and María del Carmen, 37, were allegedly a little to generous with their dosages because on two occasions their victims had to be hospitalised.

And here comes the good bit… Police investigations began in November when one of the victims reported what had happened to him, not once, but on more than one occasion because the police described his account as having been subjected to “continual robberies.”

He reported that he had met the three accused in Almería in June. Having made their acquaintance the ladies came around to his house to ‘visit’ him and during this first visit, according to the victim “slipped him something.” Evidently, it was his intention to ‘slip them something,’ but this was curtailed by a rapidly acquired state of unconsciousness. The same occurred on subsequent visits.

Once police investigations began, three more victims turned up, aged between 77 and 81.

Humour aside, one man died in Madrid back in 2009 after having a particularly potent chemical mixed into his drink whilst ‘entertaining’ a feminine visitor.
