Police officers got mistaken for strippers when they raided a swinger party in the city of Mar del Plata, just south of Buenos Aires in Argentina.
Police responded to the secret party after receiving an anonymous tip from a citizen, who told authorities that a large group of people was meeting for an 鈥渆rotic tour,鈥� as per聽笔别谤蹿颈濒听via Buenos Aires聽罢颈尘别蝉听yesterday, Jan. 11.
Argentina currently enforces restrictions on social gatherings as a protective measure against COVID-19. Over 1.7 million people have been infected with the novel coronavirus in Argentina, while more than 44,000 fatalities have so far been recorded.
In the late evening of Sunday, Jan. 10, authorities arrived at the scene that they described as being 鈥渂izarre,鈥� where around 12 couples, aged 35 to 55, were eating meals and partying to music. Mattresses were said to be spread out across the floor.
When police knocked on the door, the attendees reportedly waved them inside, confusing them to be strippers in costume rather than actual police officers, according to the report.
鈥淲hen they saw us, they thought we were part of the show, that we were strippers!鈥� one of the officers told local media outlet Infobae as cited by the newspaper.
A woman reportedly even approached one of the officers and told him 鈥測ou get me hot.鈥� When they found out that they were real policemen, however, one of the attendees commented that it was a 鈥減ity鈥� and that 鈥渨hen I saw them, I thought dessert had arrived.鈥�
The venue has since been shut down while the case was assigned to federal prosecutors in Mar del Plata, the report said. The attendees of the said party did not give the police trouble, however, and were described as 鈥渞espectful鈥� and 鈥渆ven joked about what happened.鈥� Ian Biong/JB
