Gangs are using women as young as 16 to target unsuspecting men who are then being beaten, kidnapped and robbed.The tactic is called “honey-trapping."
帮派们正在使用年仅16岁的女性来瞄准毫无戒心的男子，这些男子随后会遭到殴打、绑架和抢劫。这种策略被称为“甜心陷阱”。
unsuspecting：没有戒心

Police say women are reaching out to men online who arrange to meet them. Gang members and associates then get involved. In late December, a 45-year-old was beaten and robbed of his car, cellphone and wallet after he picked up two 17-year-olds from a Woolston address. He had met one of them online.
警方表示，这些女性会在网上安排与男性会面。然后帮派组织成员会参与其中。12月下旬，一名45岁的男子在Woolston的一个地方被两名17岁青年殴打并劫走了汽车、手机和钱包。此前他在网上曾见过其中一人。

After driving for a short time, the teenagers asked him to pull over so they could have a cigarette. Detective Sergeant Daniel Isherwood said two men associated with the Tribesmen gang pulled up in a vehicle.
在开车一小段时间后，青少年们让他在路旁停车以便他们抽支烟。侦探警长Daniel Isherwood说，与Tribesmen帮派有关的两名男子上了车。

The 45-year-old was then forced into the backseat of his car and told to sit on his hands while being driven around the city. He was taken back to his own house, where the alleged offenders took a Holden Commodore.
这名45岁的男子随后被迫坐上了他汽车的后座，并被告知把手放在屁股下面，车子随后开始绕着城市行驶。他最后被带回了自己的家，犯罪嫌疑人抢走了他的 Holden Commodore汽车。
alleged offenders：犯罪嫌疑人

He was also told he owed them $5000. He did not pay the money and went to the police. Two brothers have been charged with aggravated robbery and kidnapping.
他还被告知欠他们5000纽币。他并没有付钱而是选择去报警。一对兄弟已经被指控犯有严重的抢劫和绑架罪。
aggravated:加重的

Detective Sergeant Isherwood is also concerned that young people associated with gangs may not realise how serious the penalties are for aggravated robbery.
侦探警长Isherwood也担心与帮派有联系的年轻人可能没有意识到严重抢劫罪的处罚有多重。

"If a senior gang member is asking you to partake in an activity which involved threats, extortion and the harming of people, the likely outcome for you is time in prison," he said. "The convictions for aggravated robbery and/or kidnapping will likely result in lengthy terms of imprisonment, both of which carry maximum terms of imprisonment of 14 years.
“如果一名高级帮派成员要求你参与设计威胁、敲诈勒索和伤害他人的活动，那么你可能的后果就是入狱，”他说。“严重抢劫或绑架罪可能会导致长期监禁，两者的最高刑期均为14年。
imprisonment：监禁
