A 40-year-old man from Zebbug was this morning granted bail against a deposit of €500 and a personal guarantee of €500 after he pleaded not guilty to stealing a 250-year-old chest of drawers, worth some €14,000.
Derrin Fenech was charged with stealing the chest of drawers from a house in Triq San Girgor, Zejtun, belonging to Alfredo Vella and Catania Enriquez on September 3, 2012.
When the accused was asked what he did for a living, defence lawyer Arthur Azzopardi told Magistrate Consuelo Scerri Herrera that the accused looked after his elderly father.
