The Malta Police Force has since issued a photo of the suspected drug trafficker Aidan Bartolo, who reportedly drove into official police vehicles in an attempt to escape when he noticed that he was being followed. It was at that moment that the police were instructed to fire in the direction of the individual in order to stop him.

The suspect then exited his car and made way to the Miżieb area on foot. The police are currently searching for the individual and have appealed to the public that anyone with any information on the matter may communicate with the police, even anonymously, via Facebook Messenger or by phone on 21224001 / 119 and quoting number 7/2021.

An eye witness has since reported that children were training in a nearby football ground when the gunshots were fired, with the children taken indoors soon after.

Even adults deserve presents! Here are 7 Christmas deals you should check out ASAP

Even adults deserve presents! Here are 7 Christmas deals you should check out ASAP
Dec 2 2021 Share

One of the biggest Christmas-time dilemmas is naturally what presents you should buy who, more so when you’re shopping for adults. In today’s technologically-advanced and logistically-demanding world, parents’ or family members’ Christmas presents aren’t as easy to acquire as they used to be, but that doesn’t always have to be the case.

Thankfully, FBP are stocked up on some absolutely awesome Christmas goodies which will make any adult feel like a child again. With everything from chocolate fountains for the sweet-toothed grown-ups to outdoor heaters for the garden and conservatory aficionados, finding the right Christmas gift for everyone has honestly never been so easy.

Brownie Maker

Very little words produce the same amount of joy as ‘Brownie Maker’ when attached together and being an owner of the real thing is enough to put a smile on any adult’s face. Open the door to an abundance of sweet treats at just the flick of a switch. What’s even better is that this home appliance comes at the price of €39.60, which means that you are less than forty euro away from having a plate of warm, gooey brownies in front of you.

Air Fryer

There’s a reason that Air Fryer was added to the Merriam-Webster dictionary this year. To quote the dictionary itself, an air fryer is “an airtight, usually small electrical appliance for quick cooking of foods by means of convection currents circulated rapidly by a fan.” Beyond the dictionary meaning, the air fryer is a life-changing home appliance which allows you to rid yourself of the use of oil in your cooking with the same satisfying results. FBP’s SOGO Air Fryer comes at just €93.90.

Indoor & Outdoor Heaters

Considering 2021’s rapid shifts in weather, one of the greatest gifts you can give this year is the gift of comfort and warmth. Whether you find yourself freezing indoors thanks to Malta’s humid climate or want to spend more time in the outdoor areas of your home, FBP’s selection of indoor & outdoor heaters have got you sorted regardless of how cold it may get. The brand’s extensive range of heaters from brands like Plein Air and Zesti offer high quality equipment at immensely affordable prices.

Coffee Maker

Caffeine does indeed make the world go round, and providing the source of someone’s morning booster or evening pick-me-up will surely be appreciated by many. For coffee lovers of all ages, the SOGO Coffee Maker SS-5665 supports both ground coffee and coffee pods and comes at just €138. To top it all off, the machine comes with a milk-steaming nozzle for those days when you’re feeling a little extra fancy and want to bust out the cappuccinos, and at just €138, it’s a bargain.

Blender

Let’s face it, we’ve all considered a liquid diet at some point in our lives. Be it for the desperate desire to detox or simply an attempt at pursuing a healthier, less junk food-oriented lifestyle, a blender seemed like the key to this… but it’s so much more than that. The aforementioned is certainly achievable, but a device like FBP’s Zilan blender makes delicious soups, milkshakes, sauces as accessible as ever, just a twist-of-the-knob away at only €58.80.

Vacuum Cleaners

Clean freaks, this one’s for you. We’ve all got a family member or close friend who is absolutely obsessed with the non-stop cleaning every single crevice of their home. Thanks to the range of Zilan Vacuum Cleaners available at FBP, avid cleaners can glide from one side of their residence to the other with utmost efficiency at the stellar price of €139.79. It certainly isn’t the most glamorous present in the world, but for people who are clean, efficient and goal-oriented, this is the one.
