Immediate action by the Police in relation to a theft report led to two people being arrested.

At around 0200hrs, the Police received information that a robbery was taking place at a construction site in Triq Patri Felician Grech, Żabbar.

The Police immediately went to the scene, heard some noises and even noticed suspicious movements.

They went inside and searched each floor. As soon as they arrived upstairs, the Police found a man hiding behind a door and he was arrested.

Due to suspicion that there were more people inside, the Police continued with the searches and in another part of the same building, a second person was arrested, who was found hiding under some plastic.

From investigations carried out it emerged that the two men were using a vehicle, which was found parked in Triq il-Berebis and from which several tools, wires and extensions were lifted.
