PETTY THIEVING
Sir> —In backing up your sublead.ec appearing on Tuesday last, I would observe that the Borough of Whakatane for years enjoyed a good! reputation as a well conducted community free of criminal offences.. Of date there has been an epidemic - of petty thefts which have become + intolerable. It may be that the Police have too large a district to give adequate attention to the tnatter. The local Borough Council l should take up the matter and ask that a plain-clothes detective be * stationed temporarily in the district. 3 The public would welcome another war being started viz. for the detection of the culprits concerned, as' ■ petty pilfering has become a ace to the community. Yours etc., ' { SUFFERER.
