Burglars Busy Again: Further Raid At Whakatane
Over the week-end there was another burglary in the Strand. Mr H. H. Armstrong’s jewellery shop and Mr C. S. Armstrong’s adjoining bookshop were entered. Nothing but a small amount of change from the bookshop was taken. A broken glass panel in the back < door evidently enabled the intruder to knock the Holt back, presumably - with a golf club that was found with its head bound in cloth, evidently to deaden sound. If this is the work of the man or : men who raided the town so recently, then it suggests that he or they have nerve beyond the average. The circumstances would also seem to hint either that the burglar merely took a jaunt to Tauranga to abandon the car picked up from KamiH’s then made his way back here, or that it was pure coincidence the car was taken on the night the other crimes were committed and that its conversion was not the work of the same person
