A 41-year-old man yesterday admitted breaking into two cars and stealing stereo equipment on Sunday.

William Mercieca, from Valletta, targeted cars in Floriana, including one at the MCP car park. He also admitted damaging the cars and relapsing.

Lawyer Simon Micallef Stafrace asked for a pre-sentencing report to be drawn up, saying his client had a drug abuse problem.

Magistrate Charmaine Galea upheld the request.

Mr Mercieca was released on bail against a personal guarantee of €1,000.

Police Inspector Priscilla Caruana prosecuted.
