DETONATORS STOLEN
HANGER TO CHILDREN. DUNEDIN, November 22. Arising out of theft charges in the Children’s Court against two boys it was learnt that the lads had broken into a shed in which detonators were stored. They stole two tins of detonators, which one of them took home. Subsequently the detonators were thrown on the foreshore of the harbour and sonic other children, thinking they wfere pencil tops, picked them up and took them home. There the element of danger was introduced for, not knowing what they were, the mother threw them on the stove, the top of which was blown off,, and the woman considerably burned. Tiie police informed the Court that all tlie detonators had not been recovered. Comment was made by the Court .on the fact that such dangerous articles should have been left apparently in a place to which children had such easy acess. The police sa'd they had interviewed the proprietor of the place in which the detonators were stored, and arrangements had now been made for them to be more securely housed.
