Determined Burglary at Dunedin.
IFEB PRESS AS*OCIATIOXI. | Dunedin, June 18 A very determined burglary was committed on Friday night or Saturday morning, when the shop of Charles Johnson, draper, Maclaggau street, was entered. The burglars made their way over a high brick wall with broken glass on the top by covering the glass with a bag. To gain an entrance to one room two bricks were removed to admit of a hand entering and removing the bar from the door. In the next room a small piece was taken out of tbe door to allow of a bar being removed. The safe was taken into the cellar and an attempt made to open it, but probably the burglars were disturbed as they did not complete the work. About £1 in cash was taken from the till and a quantity of goods taken after the shop had been thoroughly ransacked. What goods have been taken is not exactly known, but Bilk handkerchiefs and a few other articles to the total value of £7 have been missed.
