A 29-year-old man from Valletta has been remanded in custody after he pleaded not guilty to theft.

Mike Agius denied stealing two laptops and an iPhone from Ventur Auto Dealer in Lija, handling stolen property, relapsing and committing the crime during the operative period of a suspended jail term.

Police Inspector Jonathan Ransley told Magistrate Anthony Vella that the accused was caught red-handed and should not be granted bail as they were still on the lookout for another man who was also involved.
