THEFTS FROM SHOPS
TWO BOYS CHARGED (rsiss issocimos te;.bg*au.) WELLINGTON, March 10. Starting, it was stated, in the Children's Court to-day, with petty thieving from shops, two youths who were jointly charged, became bolder ir. crime and began breaking and entering. The most serious of the latter class of offence was their entry into the shop of a gun-making firm, from which they stole firearms, ammunition. and camping gear to the value of £llO 12s. . , Of the property stolen in tne series of criminal offences, £l3l 9s 2d worth had been recovered. Through being left in the open it had depreciated in value, and the total loss to the owners was £24 12s. It was suggested that the boys, who had been mate? for several "years, should be parted, as they seemed to have an adverse effect on each other. Their thefts began in September, and there were 12 charges. A favourable feature of the case was that they were quite frank with the police, and assisted to recover the property. The boys were placed under the supervision of the Child Welfare Department, and were warned that their association must cease.
