A number of people suspected of stealing from Mellieħa were identified and could be arraigned soon, the police said yesterday, adding it was not prudent to give more information at this stage.
Meanwhile, it noted that a 40-year-old man had already been sentenced to jail after he admitted he was involved in a theft in the same locality.
On Thursday, Jason Scerri, 40, from Balzan, whose photograph made the rounds on Facebook as he was burgling a villa in Mellieħa, was jailed for a year.
