Investigations in the one million euro bank robbery in Balzan at the end of November are pointing to a small group of Maltese criminals who have the ability to execute such a well-planned robbery down to the minutest detail in broad daylight, Anthony David Gatt reported in maltastar.com yesterday.

Police sources were quoted as saying that earlier last week Inquiring Magistrate Doreen Clarke ordered that a DNA test be carried out on suspects.

In fact, a number of suspects identified during police investigations, were summoned to court and the magistrate ordered that their DNA tests be carried out.

Since the DNA test requires a blood sample, which is considered an intimate substance, the investigating officers had to ask for the magistrate’s permission to go ahead with the tests.
