An expatriate caught red-handed in smuggling a maid from her sponsor, Jaber Al-Ahmad, into the hands of the Residency Investigation Department.

After search, investigation and monitoring operations that lasted about a week, personnel from the General Administration of Residency Affairs Investigations, the Shelter Section, have arrested an expatriate with a criminal record for helping female domestic workers escape from the homes of their sponsors, and finding them work on daily wage basis, reports Al-Anba daily.

A security source said: “The Residency Affairs Investigations men received several reports from citizens about workers escaping from their homes, so a team of detectives was formed to monitor the areas.

They were able to catch red-handed a Syrian, while he was helping a maid escape from her sponsor’s house in the Jaber Al-Ahmad area.

They took him in for interrogation and he admitted that he had been carrying out his criminal activity for a long time, and led police to an apartment in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh where they found four other runaway female workers who had escaped from their employers with the help of the Syrian.”
