Two men arrested for drug possession in separate cases

Jun 14 2021

The Malta Police Force arrested two men, a Maltese of 42-years and an Italian of 55-years, over separate drug related crimes. The first was arrested with the assistance of the Customs Department after having been found in possession of around 9kg cannabis hidden in electronic apparatus. Police also confiscated around 150g of what is suspected to be cocaine from his apartment. The street value of the drugs amounts to around €189,000.

The second was extradited to Malta from Italy on the basis of a European Arrest Warrant to undergo criminal procedures for drug possession and importation. Both plead not guilty and were kept under arrest. Leading the prosecution are Inspectors Mark Mercieca, Stephen Micallef and Marshall Mallia.

Maltese artists outraged following Zebbug feast celebration

Jun 14 2021

Following footage which emerged of a mass gathering during a Zebbug feast celebration, local artists took to social media to express their discontent and frustration. Artists pointed out how performers are suffering financially and psychologically due to closure whereas such events are occurring without restriction and any sense of responsibility.

Dancer Warren Bonello took to Facebook to state that ‘whilst [these] people party without masks, uncontrolled […] us #artists sit at home as we aren’t safe to open our theatre, performances and projects.’ Culture Venture founder and director Toni Attard also took to Facebook to compare an empty, struggling theatre against a band club full of people disregarding health protocols.

It was also noted that several ministers and politicians were present during the celebrations. Transport Minister Ian Borg, Environment Minister Aaron Farrugia, Oppostion Leader Bernard Grech and Social Accommodation Minister Roderick Galdes were among those spotted at the band club.

UK made COVID alarm detects virus in crowded areas within 15 minutes

Jun 14 2021

A UK-made COVID alarm has been designed to detect the virus in a crowded room within just 15 minutes. The gadget, the size of a smoke alarm, could be equipped in crowded areas such as classrooms, workplaces and care homes, with a reliability factor of around 98% to 100%.

Developed by Cambridge firm Roboscientific, the gadget has effectively become more reliable than rapid home tests and just as accurate as PCR lab tests. Tracking molecules by people carrying COVID-19, the results are sent to a smartphone within 15 minutes. The gadget is expected to cost around £5,000, with a handheld version which allows people to scan others in just two minutes is also in development.
