Two men have been arrested after they were caught running out of a house they had just burgled.

Sources said the men were caught as they were jumping off a boundary wall in Earl Newton Street, Mellieha, at around noon. One of them was carrying a sack which is thought to have contained stolen objects.

The police acted on a tip-off.
