An 88-year-old woman was robbed of Lm200 when she was held up inside her Marsaxlokk home yesterday morning.
The police said two hooded and armed men forced their way into her residence in Xatt is-Sajjieda and demanded money from the woman. One of the thieves held a pointed instrument against her. The woman escaped the ordeal without any injuries, but was suffering from shock.
Magistrate Lawrence Quintano appointed a team of court experts to help in an inquiry.
The police are investigating.
