Dubai: A maid has been accused of stealing Dh1.4 million in cash and three diamond wristwatches worth Dh700,000 from her female sponsor while the latter was away on holiday. The Emirati woman sponsor was said to have received a message on her WhatsApp from the 26-year-old Ethiopian maid informing her that her safe had disappeared from her residence in October. The sponsor called up her brother and asked him to go and check whether the safe had been missing or not from her residence in Mirdif. When the brother reached the flat, he discovered that the maid and safe had disappeared and so he reported the same to the police. He also called up the police and told them what had happened,” the sponsor told the prosecutors.
