An off-duty police sergeant yesterday caught two people trying to break into a Pieta home red-handed. 

The sergeant was on Triq il-Duluri at 11pm when he noticed the two - a 51-year-old woman and 19-year-old man - trying to force a door open. He immediately intervened and called for backup. 

Hamrun district police subsequently arrested the two. Police say they are investigating further.
