About €100 were stolen during a hold-up yesterday on a food outlet in Manwel Dimech Street, Sliema.
The police said that an armed and hooded man demanded cash and made off with about €100 from the till. Two people were in the shop at the time. No one was injured.
A Magisterial inquiry has been appointed.
The incident took place some two hours after €4,000 were stolen in a hold-up on an insurance outlet in Pieta.
