According to police, officers were called to a warehouse in Triq l-Intornjatur at around 9.30pm after a report of a suspected burglary. When they arrived, they found a broken window overlooking the warehouse car park and believed it had been used to gain entry.

Police said they entered the building, searched the premises and found a man inside an office. Officers then surrounded and arrested him.

A search of the warehouse, police said, uncovered a bag containing gloves, a saw and pliers, along with a pouch holding approximately €4,000. Investigators suspect the cash had been taken from a drawer that had been forced open.

The man is being held at the police lock-up in Floriana as investigations continue. Police said he is expected to be arraigned in the coming days.
