Appeal to trace hotel housekeeper following jewellery theft

22 November 2023 by

A hotel housekeeper is the subject of a police appeal after a suitcase containing £350,000 of jewellery was stolen from a central London hotel.

The Metropolitan Police have appealed for the public's help to trace 28-year-old Marinela Manolesu, who was working as a housekeeper at the hotel in Knightsbridge.

The haul of jewellery was taken on Sunday 8 October.

Police enquiries suggest Manolesu has since left the UK and travelled to Romania on Sunday 15 October.

Anyone with information about Marinela's whereabouts is asked to call 101 quoting 3787/19Oct. Reports can be made from outside the UK via +44 20 7230 1212.

Information can also be shared anonymously with the independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
