Continuous efforts by different sections of the Police Corps led to the arrest of a person who was allegedly involved in a series of robberies and theft attempts from Gżira and Imsida apartments.
After various days of observations, investigations led to the identification of the alleged person. The police carried out a surveillance operation in Imsida on Sunday.
Surveillance immediately paid off as police spotted a male person wearing black clothing leaping across rooftops.
The man was identified as the person being searched for, and was carrying out robberies by jumping across roofs and climbing through the balconies.
An intensive search kicked off and the man, a 26 year old Syrian man, was arrested in Triq C De Brocktorff as he was exiting the residence.
Investigations showed that the robberies had started from the beginning of April of this year.
The man is expected to be taken to court later today as police investigations continue.
