A Somali man yesterday charged with attempted theft was escorted to jail after he declared he was not in a position to pay the deposit the court imposed as one of his bail conditions.
Idris Sayed Ali, 24, who resides in Marsa, was charged with attempting to rob a man and carrying a knife on March 18.
He was granted bail against a deposit of €120 but was remanded in custody after explaining he was not in a position to pay the sum.
