A 40-year-old man yesterday denied stealing a 250-year-old chest of drawers worth €14,000 from a house in Żejtun on September 3 last year.
The item, which belongs to Alfredo Vella and Catania Enriquez, was stolen from St Gregory Street.
When asked for his occupation Derrin Fenech, from Żebbuġ, said he cared for his ailing, elderly father. Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera granted bail against a €500 deposit and a personal guarantee of €500.
