An undisclosed amount of cash was stolen in an armed robbery in Luqa on Friday evening.

A hooded man armed with a knife entered an outlet in Triq Wesgħet il-Vittmi tal-Gwerra at 10pm and demanded money from the cashiers, a 38-year-old man of Cospicua and a 16-year-old girl of Fgura.

He then made off with the cash.

Magistrate Rachel Montebello is leading an inquiry.
