N.S.W. ROBBERS
aeroplanes used in chase (Australian Press Association) SYDNEY, Feb. 4. Jn the early morning a strange ear was observed standing outside Mr Woodhill’s store in a- lonely part of Kiurrajong. A policeman arrived on the scene, but the driver of the suspect, instead of obeying a call to stop, bore down on the constable with the evident intention' of running over him, and he had to jump for his life. The stronger disappeared at a break-neck speed, and eventually crashed through a fence near Richmond. The thieves them, in an attempt to hide their tracks, pushed the derelict down a side lane, but they left a quantity of tobacco, believed to have been stolen from the store. The police sought aid from the Richmond Aerodrome and two planes swept the locality, flying low, but they saw no sign of the fugitives. This is the fifth robbery at Woodhill’s store in two years. The stolen car belonged to a resident of Masman.
