A Jordanian tourist visiting Romania's Black Sea Coast was found abandoned and confused in a field outside Mangalia summer resort, local newspaper Cuget liber informs today (Fry).

The man, who just returned from a holiday in Italy, decided to spend several days at the Black Sea, before heading back to Jordan. Whilst visiting Medgidia, a small city near Mangalia, he met two young Roma women who invited him into their house, and promised to have sex with him.

When they arrived at the house, the tourist was robbed of all the money, some 80,000 Euros and a wrist watch. The Roma split the money and put the Jordanian man in  a taxi taking him outside the city, where they left him in a field.  The tourist was lucky to see a police patrolling car passing by and stopped them and told them what happened to him. In less then half an hour three suspects have been detained, two women, 22 and 25 year old and 30 year old man.

The Police found 24,000 Euros on the three suspects and still searching for the rest of the money.
