A woman has been arrested after stealing a man's $25,000 Rolex by hiding it in her vagina, New York police have said.

Shacarye Tims, 25, had been invited to the man’s room at a Holiday Inn in Chelsea, Manhattan, in the early hours of Sunday.

Tims had made the man remove the luxury watch from his wrist because it ‘scratched’ her, after which she stole it from the nightstand.
