Mariannhill domestic in court for 'inside job' home robbery
A domestic worker who allegedly opened a false case of house robbery is due to line up in the Pinetown Magistrate's Court on Thursday.
Police say the 33-year-old, who works at a home in Mariannhill Park, claimed she heard a noise coming from inside the house while she was outside hanging the washing on the line.
"She further alleged that when she went to investigate, she saw a man carrying a TV set," says KZN SAPS spokesperson Robert Netshiunda.

"She also claimed that she saw another suspect breaking the driveway gate and that the man stole jewellery and robbed her of her cellphone before fleeing from the scene in a silver vehicle."
Netshiunda says they were then handed CCTV footage.
"Police investigations proved that the woman had opened a false case after CCTV footage from neighbouring houses showed her voluntarily opening the gate for the two men."
The woman's been charged with perjury.
