$3,600 Stolen From Contractor During Massage
The victim had hired the masseuse through backpage.com.
A building contractor had $3,600 stolen from his pants pocket during a private massage at a Westborough hotel Wednesday, Police Chief Alan Gordon said Thursday.
The contractor, a 53-year-old man from Natick, had hired a female masseuse, through backpage.com, to give him a massage at the Extended Stay Deluxe Boston-Westborough, at 1800 Computer Drive, Gordon said.
With the contractor distracted, a second female grabbed $3,600 from his pants pocket, Gordon said. The contractor had had the money with him to pay his workers, the chief said.
The two women ran, and fled in a car, Gordon said.
Police have a description of the vehicle, and are investigating, he said.
The incident was reported at 9:31 a.m.
