A lighting installation showing a Father Christmas has been recovered by ELC thanks to the work of a sharp-eyed employee.

The installation was installed in a roundabout near Zurrieq and went missing a few days later.

But an employee of ELC then spotted it hanging from a balcony.

The company called in the police and the item was returned.

Company chairman Peter Calamatta confirmed the incident.

Over the past years a number of Baby Jesus figures were stolen from roadside cribs and one was later handed to a confessor in Gozo.

A figure of Our Lady was also stolen.
