Two men pleaded guilty yesterday to the attempted theft of a stereo from a Peugeot 405 parked in National Road in Blata l-Bajda.

In addition, 23-year-old Kevin Borg from Valletta and 30-year-old Kevin Brincat from Birkirkara, also admitted damaging the car, the property of Geoffrey Sciberras, and relapsing and breaching previous court judgements.

Magistrate Antonio Mizzi heard the men plead guilty to the charges brought against them and deferred the case until today, when he is expected to hand down his judgement. In the meantime, both men were remanded in custody.

Police inspector Mario Tonna prosecuted.
