TWO men and a woman have been
charged in connection with a robbery
in Żurrieq which left an elderly man in
danger of dying.
The thieves struck a jewellery shop
in Żurrieq at 8pm on August 25. The
court was told that police officers dis-
patched to the scene found the front
door locked, but could see a man with
visible wounds, tied up inside the shop.
Investigations revealed that two peo-
ple had entered the shop and tied up
the 67-year-old shopkeeper, before
looting several items and fleeing the
scene.

Sliema residents congregated at Fond il-Ghadir on Tuesday evening to denounce the "deplorable condition" of their locality. Armed
with placards, the residents joined together in chants bemoaning the mountains of garbage around the locality, the swarms of
e-scooters, an unsettling rat infestation, and over-development, which according to them, "threatens to erode the very essence of
our community".
