A 32-year-old man from Qormi today pleaded not guilty to offending police officers while they were carrying out their duties, driving without a licence or valid insurance cover and driving the car without authorisation from the owner.

He is accused of having committed the aforementioned crimes on 20 October, while he is also charged with aggravated theft of a dog and other accessories on 10 October at around 5am.

Legal Aid Noel Cutajar did not put forward a request for bail at that stage of proceedings, however he put forward a request for assistance to be provided to the accused, Jurgen Cassar, to help him with control his drug problem.

Presiding magistrate Donatella Frendo Dimech ordered the director of Corradino Correctional Facility to provide the accused with psychological help and "any other necessary assistance" to help him get back on his feet.
