Last night at around 10pm, Customs officers gave chase to a suspect who had been sighted carrying three large bags north from Eastern Beach towards the frontier fence. Customs chased the man on foot and forced him to drop the bags. The man evaded capture by returning, empty-handed, to the public beach where he was collected by a second man driving a Spanish registered car.
The tender for the organisation, production and staging of the next four Miss Gibraltar Pageants has been jointly awarded to Stage One Productions and Santos Productions.
