A 46-year-old maid from Indonesia has been jailed for 4 months for stealing her employer's gold jewellery. The maid switched the gold items with fake ones, taking necklaces and bracelets worth over S$6,000. This occurred over a three-month period while her employer was out of the country.

The maid had access to a locked drawer in her employer's bedroom, where the gold jewellery was kept. She replaced the stolen items with counterfeit ones to avoid detection. The employer had suspected theft since January but did not confront the maid immediately.

Further details of the case are available, including the investigation that led to the maid's conviction. The total value of the stolen jewellery was at least S$6,300.
