A Filipina housemaid allegedly stole Dh10000 in cash and jewellery worth Dh6000 from her employer, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.

On 21 July 2013, at around 9pm Emirati employee MA, 29, went out with his family but forgot to lock his bedroom.

When the family returned home, the housemaid was missing.

"I saw the jewellery and the money in the drawer before I went out, but I forgot to lock the room. We suspected the maid stole our belongings and we were right. We searched for the valuables but did not find any," testified the employer.

Police found some of the jewelleries in Sharjah and later arrested the maid.

She admitted to her crime and the court will give sentence on July 24.
