Libyan charged with Sunday hold-ups
Ismael Habesh, a 38-year-old Libyan has been charged in court with the hold-ups in Swieqi and Qawra early last Sunday.
He pleaded not guilty and was remanded in custody.
The police also accused him of stealing a silver Toyota Land Cruiser which was used in the hold-ups in Swieqi. It was later found in Mosta.
Informed sources said the police are looking for another two people in connection with the hold-ups.
Mr Habesh was also accused of illegal possession of a weapon and being a relapser.
The stolen items were found by the police in a street in Bugibba.

Thanks to the Police Force for their good job......now the Court must give him a good lesson for what he did, if proved. He must be repatriated after spending some nice time in prison.

If found guilty, he should be deported once he finishes his sentence.

How come he is a relapser?:he should have been deported to Libya the first time and never allowed back in:can you imagine if a maltese had perpetrated the same crime in Libya:he would have been shot on the spot!We have become soft and stupid!

It is being said that this man is a relapser. If the previous crime was similar to this one, can the police ask for his deportation once he is convicted and done his time in jail?
