25-Year-Old Ħamrun Man Arrested In Relation To Ta’ Xbiex Armed Robbery

A 25-year-old man from Ħamrun was arrested yesterday night in relation to an armed robbery that happened last week in Ta’ Xbiex.
This comes after an armed robber stormed into a betting shop along Triq il-Prinċipessa Margerita, demanding cash from the 22-year-old salesgirl.
Two policemen making the rounds in Ħamrun spotted the man, who matched the description previously given while getting on a bus last night.
Police then stopped the bus in Blata l-Bajda and arrested the man, who was then taken to the police station for further questioning.
He is being kept under arrest and is set to appear in Court in the coming days.
Police investigations are ongoing
