A 26-year-old Libyan refugee was charged with attempted robbery after being caught on the roof of a Floriana property in the middle of the night.

The case happened last Monday between midnight and 2am in Triq l-Arċisqof Caruana. Khaled Eddali was also accused of relapsing.

Sporting a large gun tattooed to his neck with the phrase ‘victory or death’, Mr Eddali was arraigned under arrest by Inspector Jeffrey Scicluna.

He pleaded not guilty and did not request bail.

Lawyer Patrick Valentino was legal aid.
