A man has been arrested by the police following an attempted hold-up in Zebbug today and a spate of others in the same city in recent weeks.

The police said that in today’s attempted hold-up, an armed and hooded man presented himself in a shop at Triq il-Grazzja at around 5.30 p.m. and requested money.

He was resisted by the owner. No one was injured.

Magistrate Silvio Meli is holding an inquiry.
