A man from Għaxaq has pleaded guilty to robbing a pastizzi shop at knifepoint.
41 year-old Kevin Borg appeared before magistrate Astrid May Grima this afternoon, accused of theft, aggravated by violence, illegal arrest, carrying a knife in public without a licence and recidivism.
Borg had held up the 19 year old girl behind the counter at the Mc Sims pastizzi shop in Għaxaq on 3 May this year, using a knife. Wearing an anti-covid mask and a hoodie, and carrying a knife, he had reportedly demanded €20 from the girl in order not to hurt her.
