Two French youths have been arrested after they were caught vandalising and destroying Christmas decorations in St Julian’s early this morning.
Police were informed that two men were spotted breaking Christmas trees that had been installed in George Borg Olivier Street at around 00:45 am. When officers were dispatched onto the scene, they found the two youths, aged 19 and 21, besides the damaged trees.

They are expected to be taken to court tomorrow, 24th of December, on Christmas Eve.
