New York City Police Department (NYPD) are searching for three suspects who allegedly lured men to motels under the premise of meeting a woman but then bound them with a duct tape and robbed them.

NYPD took to Twitter on Monday to share details of the suspects who robbed their victims of their clothing, cash and personal property.

Investigators said that the five incidents happened from July 7 to July 26 in New York City's Bronx borough. It involved victims between the ages of 31 and 48, reported Fox News. The NYPD said in a statement that in each incident, the male victim communicates via Facebook with "an alleged female and agrees to meet her at a motel."
