A wealthy family in Richards Bay, South Africa, is left reeling after their Mozambican domestic worker allegedly disappeared with valuables worth an estimated R100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident occurred while the homeowner was away at work, and CCTV footage from the property shows the woman leaving the residence carrying two suitcases filled with the stolen items.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are shocked and devastated by the betrayal of trust,” said the homeowner, who wished to remain anonymous. “We treated her like family, and this is how she repays us.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The stolen items include multiple cellphones, a laptop, designer handbags, and expensive sneakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The police have launched a manhunt for the suspect, and authorities are working closely with immigration officials amid suspicions she may attempt to cross the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We are doing everything in our power to track her down and recover the stolen items,” said a police spokesperson. “We urge anyone with information to come forward and assist us in our investigation.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of employers to theft by domestic workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Employers need to be vigilant and take steps to protect themselves and their property,” said a security expert. “This includes conducting thorough background checks on potential employees and monitoring their activities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suspect’s whereabouts remain unknown, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
