A vigilant homeowner helped bring a robber to justice by restraining him after catching him in the act.
A man who is believed to have entered a garage to rob it was arrested shortly after he was restrained by its owner at about 10:30am, in Triq Reggie Miller, Gzira.
The owner became suspicious when he heard unusual sounds coming from the garage, which is adjacent to his house.
It appears that the 39-year-old suspect was found rummaging through a parked car and tried to flee when confronted by its owner, who managed to successfully restrain him until police arrived.
The Sliema District Police and Rapid Intervention Unit immediately responded to what were initially reports of a scuffle.
Further investigations by the district police are underway.
