A video shared to social media showing what seems to be a Valletta street captures the moment a man casually walking along stops and steals two packets of beers.
The man, wearing all-black, along with a cap, casually walks up to the drinks and takes the two boxes of CISK beer before walking off.
The person posting the video (Sefora Zammit) urged people to share the footage.

Francis Zammit Dimech was given one final farewell by the Nationalist Party, with members of the Opposition carrying the coffin during the funeral.
‘Thank you for all that you were’, the PN wrote in a statement. ‘A gentleman of politics, an example of loyalty and a politics of service.’
