Maid nabbed for housebreaking
Posted: 02 September 2011 2142 hrs
SINGAPORE: Police arrested a 23-year-old female domestic worker suspected of breaking into her former employer's house in Mount Sinai.
Police were informed on August 29 at about 3.20 pm that a house along Mount Sinai Crescent had been broken into, and 140,000 yuan was reported missing from the home.
In the course of investigations, the complainant's current maid revealed that she had seen the suspect at her employer's home.
The suspect had apparently claimed that she was looking for food.
The maid said she allowed the suspect to leave the premises "out of pity".
Officers arrested the suspect on September 1 and initial investigations showed that the suspect had used part of the stolen cash to buy two notebooks and a tablet computer.
The suspect will be charged in Court on Saturday.
If convicted, she could be jailed up to 14 years.
