Man remanded in custody over alleged thefts in Sliema and Gżira

Michael Oluwafemi Tewogbola, a 47-year-old Nigerian man with no fixed address in Malta, appeared in court and was remanded in custody after his arrest over a series of alleged thefts. Tewogbola faces charges of stealing money from a person in Gżira during the night of 13–14 April and stealing money from another person on 13 April.

Victims of the alleged thefts are not named in the court record. Police also allege he removed a door knocker from the door of a private residence in Sliema and caused damage to the property. Security camera footage captured him at the scene and led to his arrest by the Malta Police Force.

Tewogbola was remanded in custody following the court sitting. The bench composition, legal representatives and next hearing date were not published in the available court record. Only the dates 13 and 14 April appear in the available text; the year of the alleged offences has not been confirmed from the excerpt.
