Inspectors order squatters out of the Victoria Lines

Inspectors from the Government Property Division are this morning serving notices to squatters at the Victoria Lines in Dwejra (Malta), ordering them to leave within two days.

The historic Victoria Lines - a series of fortifications built in the early years of British rule - include several rooms and tunnels which were used as ammunition stores and billets for the troops.

A number of them at scenic Dwejra, overlooking Mgarr, over the past few years were taken over by squatters, who go there usually on weekends.

The Government Property Division last week evicted squatters from the old barracks at Ghajn Tuffieha.
