Cleaner caught on CCTV stealing bundles of cash

Maria Angela Silva Fernandes (36), of Rouge Bouillon, stole the money on 19 May from the Old Beaumont Hill home she was paid to clean.

She burst into tears when the sentence was announced by Relief Magistrate David Le Cornu and there were audible gasps in the courtroom.

The woman was caught after CCTV cameras were set up by her employer, who had also hidden bundles of cash in a number of locations in his home and Police legal adviser Carla Carvalho told the court on Wednesday that the victim had set up the cameras in places where he stored the cash in £1,000 bundles. She said that the home-owner had also marked the note bundles with the numbers one to 13, using an ultra-violet pen.
