A private driver has confessed to helping a Filipina maid steal a diamond and expensive watches from their employer in the Al-Faisaliya district of Jeddah after he was detained by police on Wednesday. Police are still trying to locate the housemaid. According to the report made by a Saudi woman, the maid stole the jewelry while everyone in the household was at work and then sought the driver's help in fleeing the house. The driver told investigators that he had no knowledge of her whereabouts and that he had been “tricked into helping her escape”.
