The art of seduction is no joke.
Three women in dominatrix costumes reportedly persuaded Nova Mutum public prison guards in Brazil to let them in for some drinking and naughty role play around 3 a.m. on Thursday.
But what these prison wards didn't know was that they were actually pawns in a ploy to help 28 inmates escape!
The guards brought the seducers to their sleeping quarters, where the women drugged them with spiked whiskey, according to the Telegraph. They then stripped and handcuffed the men, investigators said, stole their master keys and unlocked every cell.
"The plan was to seduce them," Police Chief Angelina de Andrades Ferreira said at a news conference. "Whoever wanted to escape left by the front door."
Ferreira added that the disoriented guards were found naked and handcuffed the next morning. Police later found a bag of lingerie and naughty police outfits nearby and reveal that the inmates escaped with a total of three rifles, two revolvers and ammunition from the storage room.
"From the moment they drank the whisky, the agents don't remember a thing," she said. "One was found dizzy, trying to wake up. Another slept for the whole afternoon and couldn't even be questioned."
Police said the guards were arrested and will face charges of facilitating a jailbreak and culpable embezzlement because of the firearms theft.
Authorities said they apprehended eight escapees Friday and continue the hunt for the others, specifically Bruno Amorim, an 18-year-old sentenced for attempted murder, robbery and possessing a firearm, who they believe is the mastermind behind the heist.
"Everything indicated that he planned and executed everything, with the help of his girlfriend," Ferreira said.
