Sounds a little bit tooo faaaar fetched does it taking 7 1/2 hours to report it?

ATM's should have CCTV, so hopefully these bastards will be caught.

What another Swede held up, this is the 2nd Swede in the last 2 weeks, what is it with these guys are the Swedish so easy to target or what. Not a good image for Malta sorry to say with all these muggins on foreigners.

The police said they were informed of the incident, which allegedly took place at around 4 a.m., at 11.30 a.m. Is this a typo? The incident happened at 4:00 am but it wasn't reported till 11:30am?
