A man and a woman from Mqabba have been arrested and are expected to be arraigned in the coming days in relation to payment by falsified cheques for electronic goods and alcohol.

The police said that in the past days they received several reports from retailers, mostly of alcohol and electronic goods, that they were receiving telephone or e-mail orders which were being delivered to the indicated address and paid for by a falsified cheque.

Investigations and help from the public led to today's arrests.

The arrests were made as items ordered earlier this week were being delivered.
