A 31-year-old drug addict has been jailed for 14 months after he admitted to stealing a car stereo and CDs in May two years ago.
Saviour Agius had broken into a Peugeot 205 which was parked in Qormi at around 1 p.m. on May 11, 2008 and taken the Clarion stereo and a CD holder.
Mr Agius admitted to being the thief and to relapsing.
Magistrate Doreen Clarke jailed him after taking into consideration his early admission and the fact that he has a serious drug problem.
She also sent a recommendation to the Director of Prisons for Mr Agius to be given all the help necessary to kick his drug habit and for him to start a drug rehabilitation programme.
Police Inspector Malcolm Bondin prosecuted.
