A Somali man was yesterday jailed for two years after he admitted to breaking into a car and stealing stereo equipment and relapsing.

Mahad Abdi Adam, 22, residing in Cospicua, admitted to stealing from a car and trying to steal from another two on Tuesday afternoon in Pietà.

Police Inspector Anna Marie Micallef told Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera Mr Adam did not cooperate with the police at all during investigations.

Mr Adam was last year jailed for a year after he was caught red-handed trafficking cannabis within 100 metres of a school.

Legal aid lawyer Yana Micallef Stafrace appeared for Mr Adam.
