Two Somali nationals were arraigned in court over separate cases of theft and damage to private property.
Inspector Luke Bonello told Magistrate Giovanni Grixti that 16-year-old Abdinasir Noor Kinaan stole an iPhone 4s from Albert Nils Johan Karlstrom. The youth was also charged with handling stolen property.
The court heard Kinaan plead not guilty and remanded the youth in custody.
Moments later, 26-year-old Guled Hussein Jama, also from Somalia was charged with damaging a Suzuki Swift belonging to Roberto and Charmaine Calleja. The incident happened on 12 August at 7:45pm. The man pleaded guilty.
Magistrate Giovanni Grixti handed Jama a two-year conditional discharge.

Where is the European Court in Strasbourg now to tell us that we should treasure these illegal migrants. Our prisons are filled in the great majority by non-Maltese nationals mostly of African origin. And they tell us these are refugees and asylum seekers? Go and tell that to the marines.

Surely these two are abusing their stay in Malta and should deported. Or does the EU prevent deportation of these bits of trash as it's against their human rights - but theft and criminal damage is OK, right?
