SILK STOCKINGS DISAPPERAR
A LITTLE HOLE IN THE WALL
Silk stockings—lo.ooo pairs of them —were stolen from the London wholesale warehouse of tlie Reliable Hosiery Company in Whitechapel High Street E. , They are of a quality not usually seen in England and, were intended for export.
They will probably find their way to the black market, where they will fetch fantastic prices—without coupons. The managing director of the company said that the thieves haci obviously planned tlie theft some time ago and must have known when he. had got in new stock.
“Perhaps they had secretly watched what went into the shop from vans,” he said. The thieves forced open a clercv lict shop next door and made, a hole in the wall just big enough for a man to enter. Through hole they took tim cartons of stockings and. made their escape in a car.
Scotland Yard detectives examined the. bricks, still piled up neatly as they were removed, for fingerprints.
