Two men were conditionally discharged this morning after pleading guilty to stealing a vehicle.
Charlot Cumbo, 26, and Ryan Grima, 18, both from Fgura, pleaded guilty to stealing a Ford Escort MK6 from Żejtun on Friday night. They also pleaded guilty to damaging it.
The men’s lawyer, Franco Deobono, said his clients thought the vehicle was abandoned and were sorry for their “adventure”.
Magistrate Claire Stafrace Zammit conditionally discharged them for three years and warned them that their crime had tarnished their clean police record.
Police Inspector Kevin Pulis prosecuted.
