The solar panels powering the traffic diversion signs along the Marsascala Bypass have been stolen for the second time in as many months. The solar powered signs were installed by the transport authority to direct drivers while the bypass is being rebuilt.

Two months ago, they were stolen just days after they were installed and this time, just a week after they were replaced.

While deploring the theft, the transport authority said it would not replace them for the time being and warned that those responsible would face severe penalties and criminal proceedings if caught. The police are investigating the theft.
