Two young women have been arrested after they were spotted by a man stealing from a Birkirkara clothes shop yesterday, the police said.

The witness called the police and followed the shop-lifters, who were aged 17 and 22, both from Qormi, until they were arrested by the rapid intervention unit in Naxxar Road at about 1pm.

They had earlier stolen from another shop, the police said.

The girls will be arraigned in the coming days.
