Freelance cleaner gets jail for stealing after hirer catches her using planted dollar notes


SINGAPORE: A woman who hired a freelance cleaner to tidy her apartment once a week began suspecting the worker of theft, so she planted dollar notes in her bag after writing down their serial numbers.

When the cleaner came as usual one day, three of the S$50 (US$39) notes went missing. The employer confronted her and matched the serial numbers of the three notes in the cleaner’s pocket to the numbers she had recorded, before calling the police.

Nant Aye Thandar Soe, a 30-year-old woman from Myanmar, was sentenced to two weeks’ jail on Monday (Jun 15) for one count of theft.

The court heard that the victim, a 35-year-old Singaporean woman, engaged Helpling, a house-cleaning service, in September 2025.

The company assigned Nant Aye Thandar Soe to do the job at the victim’s home.

She cleaned the flat every Thursday and had access to all the rooms while doing so.
