Massive surge in theft in the last 24 hours

After a hold-up took place on Thursday evening at a newsagent in Fleur-de-Lys, another robbery happened that same evening at another shop in Msida.

The incident took place at around 9:40pm when the Police were informed that a robbery took place at Dock Street, Msida. The Police immediately went to the shop where the masked and armed culprit demanded money from a cashier, a 33-year-old Bosnian woman. The man fled the scene with an amount of money and some other items.

Even in the case of the robbery in Fleur-de-Lys, the thief also fled the scene with an amount of money.

These cases follow a wave robbery that occurred in the last 24 hours, particularly Sliema. In fact, it was NETnews.com.mt yesterday evening revealed that some thieves entered a house in Windsor Street Sliema, and stole a number of apartments in the same block.

These two hold-ups were followed by a surge in robbery that happened particularly in the last 24 hours, particularly in Sliema. In fact, Netnews.com.mt broke the news story of a robbery in a number of apartments in Windsor Terrace yesterday evening.
