TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Actress and TV hostess Guo Mei-chu (郭美珠) has filed a police report, saying she suspects that her Indonesian domestic worker, who has left Taiwan, might have been responsible for the disappearance of jewelry from a safe in her home, CNA reported.
The actress, her husband, and the female care worker lived together in a residence in Taipei’s Songshan District. However, as Guo was frequently in southern Taiwan shooting films, usually only her husband and the worker stayed in the home.
In January, Guo found that the jewelry in the safe, worth NT$7 million (US$252,000), was gone. She reported the incident to the Taipei City Police Department.
Police said the domestic worker is a suspect because there were no signs of forced entry at the residence and only Guo, her husband, and the care worker knew the passcode to the safe.
Taipei police have referred the case to prosecutors, reviewed data related to the woman’s departure from the country, and notified Indonesian police of the incident. However, Guo will have to file a lawsuit before Indonesian police can officially launch an investigation, per CNA.
