A woman, who allegedly stole some €400 in cash from a pet shop last Monday, was granted bail after pleading not guilty during her arraignment on Thursday.
Graziella Debono, 44 of Qawra, was arrested on the strength of CCTV footage after the Marsa shop owner reported the theft at Hamrun police statio.
The woman was charged with the alleged theft, as well as breaching a previous court order.
A request for bail was objected to, in view of the accused’s unruly character and conduct record. Moreover, civilian witnesses were still to testify, argued prosecuting Inspector Roderick Attard, adding that the woman had already attempted to contact the shop owner, offering to reimburse the money.
