Police Mistakenly Raid Home of 95-Year-Old Woman Due to Having Wrong Address

In an unsettling incident in Marsa, the police have mistakenly raided the home of a 95-year-old woman, breaking down her door and causing unnecessary alarm due to an address mix-up.

Nationalist Party MP Darren Carabott spoke out about the incident, highlighting that this isn’t an isolated event. Referring to a similar case in August, also in Marsa, he condemned the mistaken raids on private homes due to inaccurate information. “Imagine being in your own home, minding your business, when officials suddenly break in, based on incorrect information,” he stated. He questioned how residents could feel assured that such incidents would not happen again, pointing to the troubling trend and calling for improved police practices.

This incident has sparked public debate on police protocol and information verification, with many questioning the safeguards in place to protect citizens from such invasions of privacy.

Authorities have yet to respond directly to Carabott’s statement.
