| The decision to release the Filipina was made by officers at the Eastern Police station in North Pt |
Police dealt swift justice to a Filipina domestic worker
accused of stealing $500,000 cash from her employer exactly a week ago.
According to a police spokesperson, the 26-year-old
Filipina who was arrested at about midnight on Tuesday, May 17, was “released
unconditionally.”

That indicated investigators found no evidence to further detain her, or that her employer had obviously made up the accusation.
According to initial reports, the Filipina’s 31-year-old
female employer had called up the police to report the alleged theft at about
11pm that day.

Police who responded to the call took the Filipina to the
Eastern Police Station for further questioning by the criminal investigation
team. No other information was given.
But after a follow-up inquiry, the police spokesperson
said the accused had already been freed without bail or any other conditions
being imposed.
People who reacted to the first story on the alleged
theft were mostly skeptical, saying it was not likely that an employer would
leave that much cash lying around in her house.

But a few did not express surprise, having seen a number
of foreign domestic workers being hauled to court for allegedly stealing much
larger amount.
