MUSCAT: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) arrested an Asian housemaid in Muscat after she allegedly stole gold jewellery from a residence where she was employed. According to a statement from ROP, the woman was arrested in the Wilayat of Quriyat, located within the Muscat Governorate, where she had been working as a daily wage maid. The arrest followed an investigation after the theft was reported by the victim, leading to the police taking immediate action.
ROP emphasized that the woman was apprehended on charges of stealing gold jewellery from her employer’s home. The authorities carried out an extensive investigation to gather evidence that linked the housemaid to the theft. Once the evidence was confirmed, the police moved quickly to arrest the suspect in Quriyat. The ROP also indicated that legal proceedings were underway, as the woman would face the consequences of her actions under Omani law.
The incident has raised concerns regarding the safety and trustworthiness of domestic workers in the country. While the majority of domestic workers in Oman are trusted by their employers, cases like these remind the public of the need for vigilance and proper precautions when hiring individuals to work in private homes. The Royal Oman Police has advised the public to report any suspicious activities immediately to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
The case is now being handled by the relevant authorities, and legal procedures are being finalized. ROP has reassured the public that all necessary steps will be taken to ensure that justice is served.
