The police are on the lookout for a thief who ran off with jewellery he stole from a shop in Qawra this afternoon.
Customers at the Classic Jewellers outlet got the fright of their life when the thief entered the shop, broke a display window with a crowbar and ran off with a number of items he managed to grab.
The theft took place at around 5 p.m.
The police said that the thief did not threaten anyone and did not have any other weapons except for the crowbar.
