Three young men were yesterday charged with burgling three Birkirkara houses.

Two 20-year-old boys were charged with stealing Lm1,300 in cash from a house and causing damage in December 1998. Their names are not being published because they were minors at the time of the alleged commission of the crime.

One of them and 26-year-old Paul Michael Kavanagh were charged with stealing cash, jewellery and electronic equipment from another house in February 1999.

The 20-year-old allegedly involved in the two burglaries was further charged with carrying out a third one in September 1999.

The 20-year-olds were also charged with breaching the conditions of a previous release.

The three men were charged before Magistrate Joseph Cassar and pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Police Inspectors Noel Cutajar and Simon Galea prosecuted.
