PREVALENCE OF THEFT
MANY MAORI OFFENDERS "I don't like saying anything against the Maori race, in gen- 1 era!," said Sergeant Farrell at the Whakatane Court yesterday during the hearing of a theft' case, "because I know there are 1 some very fine Maori people, but I must say that there is a growing number of cases of thieving going on in thi's district for which young Maoris are responsible. Theft in general 1 has been giving the police a lot of trouble, i'n fact jus>t now it is taking up most of our time; The police will be forced 1 to take a stronger and firmer atlitude to put it down. Some of these young Maoris don't appear to have any idea of the rights of" private property at all."
