A prostitute has been jailed for a year while her pimp was put under probation for two years after they changed their stance and pleaded guilty to theft and fraud.

Kyle Mifsud, 23, a deliveryman from Cospicua, and Donna Camilleri, 28, an unemployed single mother from Santa Luċija, eventually admitted stealing a bag from an unlocked car parked in Marsascala in May.

The couple took cash as well as a credit card, which they used to purchase mobile phones and several items of jewellery, spending a total of €659 from the victim’s bank account.

They were also charged with relapsing.

Magistrate Doreen Clarke jailed Ms Camilleri for a year and confiscated her €3,000 personal guarantee, which is to be paid in €85 instalments.

Mr Mifsud was put on probation for two years and warned of the consequences were he to commit another crime.
