On March 13, news from Thanh Hoa Provincial Police said that Trieu Son Town Police (Trieu Son District, Thanh Hoa Province) had just investigated, clarified, and arrested Trinh Thi Thanh (born in 1980; residing in An Moc Village, Dan Luc Commune, Trieu Son District) for the act of "Theft of property".

Two days ago, Ms. HTX went to the police station to report that her family had been broken into and 30 million VND had been stolen. After receiving the report, the Trieu Son town police took professional measures to investigate, verify and clarify. After only 2 hours, the police arrested the subject who caused the theft, Trinh Thi Thanh.

At the police station, Thanh confessed that he took advantage of his position as an hourly maid for Ms. HTX's family to easily enter the house. On the morning of March 11, while cleaning for Ms. X's family, Thanh discovered a lot of money in the wardrobe, so he became greedy and stole 30 million VND, hid it in a pair of boots, and brought it home to hide.

This is not the first time there have been cases of domestic workers stealing property. Accordingly, another incident occurred in Hanoi, when a domestic worker named Nguyen Thi H. (born in 1985, residing in Chuong My district, Hanoi) was arrested for stealing the property of her employer. According to information from Hoang Mai District Police, Nguyen Thi H. took advantage of the time when the employer was away to rummage through and steal many valuable properties, including cash and jewelry. After discovering the loss of property, the employer reported it to the police and Nguyen Thi H. was arrested shortly thereafter. At the police station, Nguyen Thi H. admitted to the theft and stated that due to difficult circumstances, she had become greedy.

In Ho Chi Minh City, a maid named Tran Thi L. (born in 1990, residing in Long An province) was also arrested for stealing the homeowner's property. According to information from Binh Thanh District Police, Tran Thi L. worked for the family of Ms. NTH (born in 1980) for about 6 months. During this time, Tran Thi L. secretly stole money and jewelry from Ms. H's family many times. The total value of the stolen property was up to hundreds of millions of VND. After discovering the loss of property, Ms. H. reported it to the police and Tran Thi L. was arrested shortly thereafter. At the police station, Tran Thi L. admitted to the theft and said that due to debt, she became greedy.

The above incidents are a reminder of the importance of thoroughly checking the relatives and background of domestic workers before hiring them. At the same time, homeowners also need to raise their vigilance, not leaving their property exposed and easily stolen. Hiring domestic workers through reputable agencies and having them thoroughly checked will help minimize risks and ensure the safety of family assets.

The police agency recommends that before hiring a domestic worker, families should carefully check the relatives, background and work history of the candidate. This can help determine the reliability of the domestic worker and reduce the risk of theft.

Families should hire domestic helpers through reputable, licensed and trustworthy service providers. These agencies often have strict screening procedures for candidates, ensuring the authenticity and reliability of the domestic helpers.

Families need to be vigilant and manage their assets carefully. Do not leave money, jewelry, and valuables in easily accessible places. Use safes or lockers to protect important assets. Installing security devices such as surveillance cameras and alarm systems can help families monitor the activities of domestic workers and detect suspicious behavior early.

The maid was forced to pay 10K less, so she immediately sent a 3-page message to teach the homeowner a lesson.
