The police were called in at 9.50am, informed that their assistance was needed in Guardamangia Hill, Pieta. When they got there they discovered that a 25-year-old Zabbar man was in his Daihatsu Charade when he was stopped by two persons riding a motorcycle.

One of them was hooded, got off the bike, went up to the car driver brandishing a knife and took an amount of money lying in the back of the car.
