A not-so-sharp razor blade thief was yesterday jailed for a year after admitting to six thefts earlier this month.

Paul Gauci Borda, 19, of Ġzira, who has a number of previous convictions for stealing blades and shaving foam, would take the items from pharmacies acrossthe island.

Every time, he was caught on CCTV cameras and his identity was confirmed to police almost instantly by the consistency with which he targeted the same product: razor blades.

Mr Gauci Borda robbed Sonren pharmacy in Tarxien, St Mary and Tal Plaza in Żebbuġ, Drug Store in Qormi, Mġarr Pharmacy in Mġarr, Felice in Żabbar and Fgura Pharmacy in Fgura.
