A man was accused in court today of stealing some €20,000 worth of jewellery from his parents' house in order to fuel his drug habit.

The case was dropped, however, after the parents opted not to proceed.

The accused, Matthew Brincat, 33 of Qormi, admitted to making false declarations to the police and was placed on probation for three years.

He was also ordered to follow a drug rehabilitation programme.
