A lone thief made off with €300 in cash in a raid on an optician’s shop in St Anthony Street, Żebbuġ, yesterday afternoon.

The police said the barefaced thief went straight towards the salesgirl and demanded money. In the process, he threateningly showed her the butt of an object to give her the impression that he was armed with a weapon.

He ran out of the shop after he grabbed the money.

No one was injured.
