The police are studying CCTV footage after a man apparently stole some €13,000 in cash from an office at the Sparkle Image detergents shop in Gzira yesterday afternoon.

The cash was apparently being counted on a desk when the person responsible briefly moved away.

The thief promptly entered her office, grabbed the cash and left. Cheques for some €2,000 are also believed to have been stolen.

The theft was not immediately noticed.

A Magisterial inquiry is being led by Magistrate Carol Peralta.
