Muscat: The Royal Oman Police (ROP) have arrested a Sri Lankan housemaid suspected of stealing 19,000 Omani riyals (Dh181,000) from her employer's house in the Baushar district of Muscat.
The suspect allegedly stole the cash when the owner of the house had gone out shopping. The maid was working there on a temporary basis after absconding from her original sponsor.
