Enough evidence exists for five men and a woman charged with the theft of cannabis from a container under the custody of the Armed Forces to face a trial, a court ruled Monday.

Magistrate Elaine Rizzo ruled that 30-year-old Sean Attard from Żebbuġ, 33-year-old Yousef Essesi from St Paul's Bay, 23-year-old Carlos Pace and 19-year-old Cleaven Pace, both from Marsa, 23-year-old Liam Stewart from Tal-Pietà and 21-year-old Christa Gauci from Sannat, Gozo are placed under bill of indictment.

The court confirmed that Liam Stewart is to remain in custody while a request for bail for the other five defendants will be adjudged later.
