The hunt for a female robbery suspect in New York City reached a fever pitch this week, as the NYPD released a poster featuring the sultry image of Lucie Lora. The 34-year-old woman was wanted for attempting to steal her brother’s fiancee’s engagement ring, sparking a citywide search.
Lora allegedly instructed her 38-year-old brother, Carlos Lora Diaz, to snatch the ring from his ex-girlfriend during a heated argument at an apartment in Jackson Heights. Despite Diaz’s efforts, he failed to grab the ring and instead injured the woman’s thumb in the process. He then allegedly pushed her to the ground, causing pain to her hip.
Both suspects managed to flee the scene, but were apprehended by police the following day. They were charged with second-degree attempted robbery, with Diaz having a history of three prior arrests. Surprisingly, Lora had no previous run-ins with the law.
The image of Lora used in the wanted poster raised eyebrows, as it featured her twirling her hair with a sultry pout and an ample amount of cleavage. It remains unclear where the police obtained this particular image of her.
While Lora’s backstory remains a mystery, her brother’s criminal record suggests a pattern of unlawful behavior. The specifics of his previous arrests were not immediately available.
The case of Lucie Lora serves as a cautionary tale of how family dynamics can sometimes take a criminal turn. The NYPD’s swift action in apprehending the suspects highlights their dedication to keeping the city safe from those who seek to commit acts of theft and violence.
As the dust settles on this bizarre case, one thing is certain – the streets of New York City are a little safer now that Lucie Lora and Carlos Lora Diaz are behind bars.
