The Żebbuġ council yesterday praised police after a man believed to have been behind a spate of armed robberies in the village was apprehended on Friday night.

Presence of district and mobile police in the village increased substantially in recent weeks. Last Friday, the owner of a Żebbuġ shop resisted an armed man who walked into his shop demanding money. He was arrested shortly afterwards.

In a statement, the Żebbuġ council said it would continue highlighting the importance of a more proactive urban safety culture through initiatives in conjunction with the Council of Europe’s European Forum of Urban Safety.

A number of initiatives related to the subject will be unveiled in the coming weeks.
