A tile layer from San Ġwann was yesterday charged with theft and smashing a car window.

Allan Pace, 26, pleaded not guilty to stealing a handbag from St Julian’s on Friday afternoon. Prosecuting officer Trevor Micallef said the police received information that led them to the accused from eyewitnesses who saw him committing the crime.

Magistrate Aaron Bugeja granted the man bail against a personal guarantee of €2,500 and ordered him not to approach Dun Gużepp Scerri Street, where the car was parked. A 10pm curfew was also imposed.
