Crime Desk
Reports are flooding into the London Daily News crime desk of serial attacks by a man around central London offering to females on the street to either buy or try or a new perfume.
The perfume is in fact a highly toxic liquid, and is used by the male described to be around six foot well dressed and with an eastern European accent, to blind the victim and then steal whatever possessions they may have.
A friend of one of the victims was alerted of this last night at 7pm in Kings Cross and called the London Daily News:
"She was coming home on Euston Road when a bloke in a suit asked her if she wanted to buy this new perfume, instead of saying no, she said ok, then he all of a sudden squirts the liquid into her face, blinds her steals her bag and runs away".
The London Daily News is aware that the Metropolitan Police is making investigations into this new trend in London.
