Yet another hold-up, this time on two lotto receivers from Ta' Xbiex with the thieves getting away with the cash. Are we waiting for a serious tragedy to happen before action is taken to protect lotto receivers, who, like everyone else, are trying to make a decent living?

Maltco or the government should seriously consider what can be done to stop this type of crime which is on the increase.

Banks, with scores of employees on the premises, have police protection while lotto receivers, mainly one or two in their offices, have none.
