A 31-year old man was arrested early on Saturday morning on suspicions of vandalising several bus stops around Malta. 

Police said the suspect allegedly caused more than €15,000 in damages at 13 bus stops, including in Marsa, Luqa, Marsascala, Ċirkewwa and Mellieħa. 

He was arrested after police received a report at around 1.45am on Saturday of a man damaging a bus stop in Birkirkara. 

The suspect, an Eritrean national, was found close by with a metal tool and pieces of glass in his bag. 

Police investigations are ongoing.
