British Railway Thefts
Thefts on British railways, which are estimated to have cost the railway companies nearly £1,500,000 during the first six months of 1946, have reached such alarming proportions that the companies and interested businessmen have established a joint committee to devise plans fox' stamping out the trouble. It is reported that measures already taken have reduced losses and that a system of pinpointing trouble centres and divei’ting goods away from them has proved vei'y effective. Organised gangs are stated to be operating in close conjunction with the black market.
