Off duty policeman stops gas cylinder robbers

An off-duty policeman this morning arrested two men who are believed to have been behind a spate of thefts of gas cylinders in Attard and other localities.

The policeman spotted a White Toyota which was wanted by the police and tailed it for some 2km in his car.

One of the men was observed darting in and out of people's front gardens, looking for gas cylinders. The car then drove up and two gas cylinders were stolen.

The thefts are thought to be drug-related, with the men selling the cylinders to gas distributors for the cash to buy drugs.

The policeman was assisted by members of the Mobile Squad to make the arrest.

'the highest of honours'? what he did was admirable, but it's not like he jumped into a fire and rescued a classroom of children is it?

So as not to make any misplaced accusations -- are you hating on the good job this man and his colleagues have carried out?! :s
