A court has remanded a woman in custody after she was charged with breaking into parked cars and stealing them or their contents.
This morning, magistrate Ian Farrugia heard police inspectors Elton Taliana and Jonathan Ransley charge 35 year-old Ruth Borda from Xghajra with four counts of aggravated theft, some dating back to January.
Borda was apprehended on Tuesday night after police in Naxxar spotted her trying to force car doors open. She was found in possession of items stolen from inside other vehicles. The items stolen included a purse and sports equipment.
Subsequent investigations led the police to also charge the woman with having stolen two cars: a Toyota from Paola in January and an Audi from Sliema in May.
Borda was further accused of giving false particulars to the police and breaching bail conditions which she had been given earlier this month.
Lawyer Joe Ellis, appearing for Borda, entered a plea of not guilty. Bail was not requested.
