The police are to arraign a lotto tickets seller after investigations into the reported theft of thousands of euro from a lotto office showed that this was a false report.
The police in a statement last Saturday had said that the cash was reportedly stolen from a lotto office in Zachary Street, Valletta.
The woman had told the police that a man entered the office, told the woman to switch off the lights and close the door.
He then grabbed money from the cash register and ran out.
