An Indian national was jailed 50 months on Thursday after she took more than $400,000 worth of cash and jewellery from her employer.
Kirandeep Kaur, 25, had been working for the family as their maid since 2009, at their apartment in Holland Road.
She waited till the family had left for a holiday on 26 Mar earlier this year, before raiding the drawer full of cash and jewellery on March 28 with a spare key that had been entrusted to her by the employer.
She then left for India but was eventually tracked down by Indian police. Not all the stolen items were recovered. Kirandeep was arrested when she returned to Singapore in August to look for work.
