Four men have been jailed over a series of snatch and run robberies on elderly people in Pietà that left some of the victims injured. The magistrate imposed a three-year treatment order on three of the accused who have a drug problem. Mupimhidzi, Harrison and Susanto were charged with the violent attack on the 68-year-old, while Mupimhidzi was separately charged with causing the victim grievous injuries. The man was surrounded and when he tried to escape the accused grabbed his bag and dropped him to the ground. Other victims included an elderly man who was mugged in the vicinity of the Msida church and a man who was hit by a stone while on the bus stop at Portes des Bombes.
