Poilce are hunting a Sri Lankan housemaid who allegedly stole more than BD8,000 worth of gold from an Indian family.The 48-year-old has been accused of taking 450gm of jewellery from the house of her employer in Manama on Saturday. A complaint has been lodged at Hoora Police Station and an Interior Ministry official confirmed officers were searching for the maid.
An illegal worker, she was taken on by the Indian family, who have two children, two weeks ago. "My wife gave birth to a premature baby seven months ago and she wanted a maid urgently to care the baby so she could go to work," said the husband, who declined to be named.
"On Saturday, it was my wife's off day and she stayed at home, but I went to work. "Later in the day, she went to my elder son's school to attend parent-teacher meeting while the maid stayed at home with the baby."
The husband said after returning from work he noticed the maid's belongings and the jewellery were missing.
The expatriate, who MWPS action committee assistant head Evon Bhaskaran confirmed came to Bahrain in September 2010, had reportedly run away twice before. Sri Lankan honorary consul general P B Higgoda was also aware of the case. "We are doing our own investigation," he said.

Why go to rob in Bahrain, you could have stayed back and done that in Lanka, to save our country's name.

These types of women should be punished maximum. They are ruin the country name and also create problems to others who visit those countries on holidays. Should fine maximum and deport immediately and should give publicity in media also

MAY BE SHE WAS ILL TREATED BY THIS INDIAN FAMILY.
GENERALLY WE SRI LANKANS DON'T STEAL WITHOUT A REASON. POOR MAID. JUST LEAVE HER ALONE.banda Monday, 16 May 2011 07:32 AM
Do not encourage people to rob.
May be you too are a robber. Robber is a criminal an the reason for robing others property is the criminal mind they have. Not excuse for robbers anyway.,

Is there any valid reason for theft? What is that? If it is wage arrears even unjustifiable!
