A Polish man was extradited from Malta to face charges of a series of thefts committed between 2010 and 2011, the police said.

The man was arrested in Birkirkara on 27 September after weeks of investigation.

The police were executing a European Arrest Warrant after receiving information that the man was living in Malta.

He was charged before Magistrate yana Micallef Stafrace two days later.

The man acceded to the request for extradition and was flown to Poland.

The prosecution was led by Inspector Mark Galea.
