Three young men admitted to driving quad bikes down a one-way Paceville street in the early hours of the morning.

Raj Sing, 26, Harvir Kalsi, 29, Gurpal Virdi, 24, all UK citizens, pleaded guilty to driving recklessly and disobeying police orders.

All three appeared before magistrate Doreen Clark and represented themselves.

The court heard how the three men had been ordered to stop by a police officer when they were driving dangerously down a crowded area in the early hours of Saturday.

They were each fined €500 and had their driving license suspended for three months.

In a separate case, an Eritrean man pleaded guilty to being in possession of cannabis in Paceville.

Eyob Melake Ecobagaber, 27, was charged €500 and handed a conditional discharge for 18 months.

The court also heard the case of Silvio Camilleri, a 34-year-old Mount Carmel Hospital resident, who pleaded not guilty to stealing from a store and a pharmacy in Ta Xbiex.

He was remanded in custody.
