A 41-year-old Filipino domestic worker was arrested on Sunday on suspicion of stealing cash that her employer had stashed in his apartment in Kowloon Tong.
At 10pm, a 50-year-old man reported to Hong Kong police that he could not find the equivalent of around US$25,600 in cash he had stored in his home at Phoenix Court on Broadcast Drive, Sing Tao Daily reported. The cash included Hong Kong and foreign currencies.
It was understood that the maid had suddenly claimed she needed to attend to an urgent matter at home in the Philippines and asked her boss to buy her an air ticket, Apple Daily reported.
Feeling suspicious, the woman’s employer checked a drawer of the dining table where the cash should have been, and it was gone.
He suspected that his domestic worker had stolen the money, and he called the police.
After an initial investigation, police arrested the maid on suspicion of theft. Kowloon City Police Station is following up the case.

It’s to early to judge the filipina as the investigation is still on going and wtf that to big amount would only put in the drawer? Kinda idiot I think
Suspected plang nman wla p evidence.,
Put the money at the dining drawer? What a heck?!????????????.
I hope they will investigate carefully.. We dont know the real story.. Just something unbelievable that the employer will keep her money in dining room drawer only… It seems odd.. Because ive never heard anyone put big amount of money in a place where everyone can have access…in my boss home even 10 cents u cannot find???? they keep it well..
