A 28-year-old man from Paola pleaded not guilty to stealing a computer and €600 (Lm257.80) in cash from a house in Paola.
Magistrate Michael Mallia heard Jason Gatt plead not guilty to stealing a computer worth €908 (Lm389.80) together with a monitor, keyboard and a cash box containing €600 (Lm257.80).
