A Filipina maid was arrested in Dubai for allegedly stealing jewelry from her employer.
She was nabbed after she posted her selfies wearing the alleged stolen pieces of jewelry on Facebook.
The Dubai Criminal Court heard the 47-year-old maid stole several pieces of Tiffany, Van Cleef, Fendi, and Damas jewelry from her Canadian sponsor.
The Canadian sponsor told the court that her daughters complained about missing pieces of jewelry during the defendant’s employment from 2013 to 2018.

She said she confronted the maid about it, telling her she has 15 pieces of jewelry that went missing from their villa in Jumeirah.
The maid said she has nothing to do with it.
She left her job in 2018.
Three years later she saw pictures of the maid wearing one of the missing jewelry.

She said the maid wore the golden necklace which has her daughter’s name engraved on it.
The police arrested the maid and seized some of the stolen items from her.
She was charged with theft and her next hearing is set for June 27. (RA)
