Two hooded men, one of them armed with a knife, entered a farmhouse in Triq ir-Rabat in Dingli this morning and demanded money from the owners.

The police said the thieves insisted on being given money but escaped when they realised that the victims did not have anything to give them.

No one was injured in the incident. A man is helping the police in their investigations.

An inquiry is being held.
