Three young people are being investigated over the theft of €300 worth of fish from a fish farm last night, the police said.

They said in a statement that Birzebbuga district police were informed of a suspicious looking boat in the Marsaxlokk area through an anonymous telephone call.

The police went near the Torri San Lucjan and saw a boat near the fish farm turning to Qajjenza Bay, where three young people disembarked.

They were stopped by the police who found the fish in a number of bags in their possession.
