SINGAPORE: A maid has been hauled to court for
allegedly stealing more than S$400,000' worth of cash and valuables
from her employer.
This is believed to be the largest amount a domestic
helper has ever stolen from an employer in
Singapore.
Kirandeep Kaur is accused of stealing the cash and
valuables from a flat at Block 80 Holland Road on March 28.
The 25-year-old maid allegedly made off items that included cash
amounting to more than S$31,000 and five diamond bangles worth
S$124,000.
Kaur was charged with the offence earlier this month and her case
has been adjourned to November 2.
If convicted, she could be jailed up to seven years and
fined.
