Five burglars from an international ring have been arraigned in connection with several thefts from homes in Malta.

Does this mean our properties are now safe and what can home-owners and the police do to keep burglars at bay?

In the first programme for this schedule, TimesTalk will tackle the burglaries which have triggered alarm and panic among many. Assistant Police Commissioner Silvio Valletta and criminologist Saviour Formosa will be the main guests in the programme, which also features an interview with a burglary victim.

The Criminal Investigation Department will also give insight into the tactics used by potential thieves.

Presented by Herman Grech and Mark Micallef, TimesTalk will be screened on Tuesday on TVM at 10.05pm, with a repeat on Wednesday on TVM 2 at 1.30pm.

The programme will also be available on demand on timesofmalta.com.
