KARACHI: In yet another incident, two maids allegedly robbed a family of valuables including jewellery and others in Karachi’s area of Gulistan-e-Johar on Saturday.

According to details, both the housemaids were given jobs eight days earlier, who stole gold ornaments, Pakistani and international currency and other valuables from the house worth Rs2.5million and fled away easily.

Though the residents are required to get CNIC and other credentials before hiring a domestic helper, the affected family neglected the guidelines.

Meanwhile, ARY News has acquired CCTV footage in which the maids can be seen fleeing after covering their faces.
