Former police sergeant granted bail in Zejtun robbery case.

Former police sergeant granted bail in Zejtun robbery case.

— Crime · Judicial Proceedings · Malta: A court has granted conditional release to a former police sergeant facing charges related to an aggravated robbery.

🔹 🔹 🔹

A court presided over by Magistrate Caroline Farrugia Frendo granted bail to Glen Carabott on 28 May 2026. The 46-year-old from Mtarfa faces charges for allegedly aiding in an aggravated theft from an 80-year-old man's home in Zejtun. The incident occurred on 22 January 2026.

🔹 🔹 🔹

The prosecution, led by Inspectors Antonello Magri and Christina Delia, stated that the robbery involved three individuals. Footage from surveillance cameras indicated that two suspects entered the residence while a third person remained outside to keep watch. Investigators identified this third person as Carabott after reviewing surveillance footage, tracking the vehicle connected to the case, and locating his mobile phone. A search of his residence resulted in the recovery of clothing that matches the attire worn by the individual in the footage.

🔹 🔹 🔹

Carabott also faces charges of illegal possession of a weapon, committing crimes while serving as a public official, and breaching two previous bail decrees. The defense, represented by lawyer Nicholas Mifsud, argued that conditions could mitigate any risks. The court observed that as the principal witnesses have already testified, the concern regarding evidence tampering is no longer immediate.

🔹 🔹 🔹

The court granted bail subject to a €4,000 deposit, a €30,000 personal guarantee, a daily curfew, and the requirement to sign in at a police station every day. The office of the Attorney General was represented by lawyer Nicholas DeGaetano.

🔹 🔹 🔹

Practical Takeaways: For the public, this ruling marks a shift in the status of the ongoing criminal proceedings. Interested parties should monitor subsequent court sessions as the case progresses toward a final judgment.

Eks surġent tal-Pulizija jingħata l-ħelsien mill-arrest f’każ ta’ serqa fiż-Żejtun.

— Kriminalità · Proċeduri Ġudizzjarji · Malta: Qorti tat il-ħelsien mill-arrest taħt kundizzjonijiet lil eks surġent tal-Pulizija li qed jiffaċċja akkużi relatati ma’ serqa aggravata.

🔹 🔹 🔹

Qorti ppreseduta mill-Maġistrat Caroline Farrugia Frendo tat il-ħelsien mill-arrest lil Glen Carabott fit-28 ta’ Mejju 2026. Il-persuna ta’ 46 sena mill-Imtarfa qed jiffaċċja akkużi li għen f’serqa aggravata mir-residenza ta’ raġel ta’ 80 sena fiż-Żejtun. L-inċident seħħ fit-22 ta’ Jannar 2026.

🔹 🔹 🔹

Il-prosekuzzjoni, immexxija mill-Ispetturi Antonello Magri u Christina Delia, stqarret li fis-serqa kienu involuti tliet individwi. Filmati minn kameras tas-sigurtà indikaw li żewġ suspettati daħlu fir-residenza waqt li persuna oħra baqgħet barra tistenniehom. L-investigaturi identifikaw lil din il-persuna bħala Carabott wara li rrevedew il-filmati, traċċaw il-vettura konnessa mal-każ, u lokalizzaw il-mowbajl tiegħu. Tfittxija fir-residenza tiegħu rriżultat fl-irkupru ta’ ħwejjeġ li jaqblu ma’ dawk li kien liebes l-individwu fil-filmati.

Id-difiża, rappreżentata mill-avukat Nicholas Mifsud, argumentat li kundizzjonijiet jistgħu jimmitigaw kwalunkwe riskju. Il-Qorti osservat li billi x-xhieda prinċipali diġà xehdu, it-tħassib dwar tbagħbis ta’ provi m’għadux wieħed immedjat.
