A man who led police on a destructive car chase earlier this week has been granted bail three days after his arrest.
Josef Zammit, known as il-Marozz, had been under covert observation by the Drugs Squad for some time when officers, executing an arrest warrant, moved to arrest him on Monday.
Magistrate Audrey Demicoli heard a police sergeant testify how Zammit had been observed leaving his residence and driving towards Bormla when the plainclothes officers had tried to stop him. He drove on, later going the wrong way up a one-way street when the police had closed off the road he was on.
