News24 reports that a domestic worker from Mariannhill in Durban is expected to appear in the Pinetown Magistrate's Court after she was arrested for allegedly aiding two criminals who stole from her employer's home.
The 33-year-old woman was arrested for perjury on Tuesday after she opened a "false case of house robbery". Colonel Robert Netshiunda, KwaZulu-Natal police spokesperson, indicated: "The woman, who is a domestic worker on Amand Road in Mariannhill Park, opened a case of house robbery and told the police that she was hanging clothes on the washing line when she heard a noise coming from inside the house." The woman claimed that when she went to investigate, "she saw a man carrying a TV set" and further claimed that she saw another suspect breaking the driveway gate. She alleged that the man stole jewellery and robbed her of her cellphone before fleeing from the house in a silver vehicle. Netshiunda said CCTV footage from neighbouring houses, however, showed that the woman voluntarily opened the gate for the two suspects, which led to her being charged. The two robbers are still at large.
