An elderly woman was tied up in her Valletta home by two robbers who made off with gold items she was wearing.

The 75-year-old was un-harmed. The woman told the police that the two hooded men barged into her house wearing black clothes. The incident took place at about 2pm in St Ursula Street.

In a separate case, the police arrested two men after a chase down Crucifix Hill, Floriana.

Sources said that one of them was carrying a bag which is believed to have been stolen from a woman earlier.
