A tryst set up through a dating website ended with a Conyers man losing his cash and nearly losing his car to two women Monday night, according to the Rockdale County Sheriff's Office.

The 46-year-old victim told detectives that he had met one of the women at Match.com and they had arranged to meet at the Country Inn and Suites, 1312 Old Covington Highway, Conyers. 

“He said that the female came in the room and spoke with him for a second then went and opened the door to the room and allowed a larger black female inside,” the deputy wrote in the report. “The larger female made threats and demanded cash from him.”

The victim stated the larger woman took $300 in cash and the keys to his 2014 BMW 740IL. Both woman then ran out of the motel. 

“(The victim) came downstairs and saw a small passenger car with Florida plates leave the parking lot. He stated that he thought it was a rental car,” she wrote. “The car circled the lot and then the larger black female jumped into his BMW and took off.”

The BMW was found in the parking lot of the nearby Cracker Barrel. The women may have driven off in another car with Florida plates.

The smaller female suspect was described as being either 5 feet and 4 inches or 5 feet and 5 inches tall with a tattoo on her right arm. The bigger female was closer to 6 feet and 2 inches tall.
