Watchmen at the Gozo cathedral early on Wednesday foiled a break-in being attempted at 5am.

A police spokesman confirmed that the watchmen spotted two hooded men trying to break down a door on one side of the cathedral. The door leads to the sacristy and on to the cathedral.

The burglars fled as soon as they saw the watchmen.

The police are investigating.
