An unidentified 54-year-old man in Crossville, Tennessee was robbed while he was distracted by a woman swimming nude in his backyard pool on Saturday.

According toÂ CNHI News, a woman and a man approached the victim’s home, but the woman sent her male accomplice away to get some cigarettes. The woman then asked the victim if she could swim naked in his pool, which he agreed to.

The victim and the woman spent 20 minutes in his backyard while she skinny dipped. However, her male friend never returned with the cigarettes because he was inside robbing the man’s house, say police.
