Maid lets 4 Asians into house to rob Emirati

Four Bangladeshi men sneaked into a house in Ajman, tied up its Emirati owner and stole jewellery and nearly Dh95,000 before fleeing.

Police examining the place the next day found that no door or window had been broken and that someone inside the house had helped the thieves.

They quickly suspected the housemaid, but her employer, in her 50s, told the police she trusts her maid who has been working for her for more than four years.

“During interrogation, the maid finally confessed to complicity in the theft.

“She told police that she opened the door for the thieves and guided them to their loot,” the Arabic language daily Emarat Al Youm said.

It said police arrested three of the burglars a day after the robbery and were searching for the fourth.

The paper quoted police as saying they had recovered the jewellery and part of the money as the four had already transferred Dh30,000 home.
