09 July 2012

​
WHAT:
Robbery using a drug similar to Rohypnol (illegal in the USA but legal in Europe)
or Ketamine (mostly used as an animal anesthetic) was used to in a robbery Friday evening.​
WHO: A UN staff member has been a victim of this drug.
WHEN: Friday 06 July 2012 at approximately 7:00pm
WHERE:Mlimani City, Dar es Salaam
WHY:
Possible prior knowledge of the staff member, perceived valuables and possible soft
target as the female was alone.​
HOW:
The staff member was approached by a well dressed male who called her by name
and claimed to be an old school mate. He had knowledge of her schools and previous work
place and mentioned her former colleagues by name. The victim still was not sure she knew
the gentleman. Nevertheless, they had a conversation and the victim remembered ordering
a bottle of water and does not remember much after that. She woke in her car in front of her
house several hours later. She was robbed of her jewelry, phone, credit cards and cash.
The victim went to the hospital on Sunday in for a medical checkup and tests.​
RECOMMENDATIONS / ACTIONS:
1. UNDSS met with the staff member at the hospital and the UNDSS/CISMU stress
counselor was notified to provide counseling.

3. Keep your drinks with you at all times. Even to the restroom.
4. If someone offers to get you a drink from a bar or at a party, go with the person to
order your drink. Watch the drink being poured and carry it yourself.
5. If you feel drunk and haven't drunk any alcohol — or, if you feel like the effects of
drinking alcohol are stronger than usual — get help right away!
6. Be alert and vigilant of someone that you do not recognize but they seem to know
much about you.
7. Hang out with a friend​
