A young homeless man yesterday admitted to breaking a CCTV camera belonging to Dar Leopoldo home in Ġzira because of the way he was treated there.
Luke Bugeja, 27, whose parents died when he was just a toddler, told Magistrate Gabriella Vella that he was “not crazy” and had done it for a reason, adding that he was badly treated at the home.
The magistrate told him that smashing things would get him nowhere and that if he had any complaint to make in future, he was to go the police.
Mr Bugeja was conditionally discharged for a year and ordered to pay the costs of repairing the damage within four months.
