The police have asked for the public’s cooperation to locate Fabio Psaila, who is being sought in connection with investigation of serious crime.

Anyone having any information was requested to phone on 119. Confidentiality will be respected.

Mr Psaila over the past years faced charges of car theft and handling stolen goods. He was also jailed for drug trafficking in Italy.

The police would not confirm that they want to question Mr Psaila in connection with last Friday's attempted hold-up on a jeweller which left one of the three assailants injured after the jeweller's son grabbed hold of one of their guns and shot at them.

Mr Psaila had also been questioned by the police as part of their investigations into the failed hold-up at the HSBC depot in Qormi at the end of June.
