SENSATIONAL TRAGEDY
OF A CITY JEWELLER. (Australian Press Association) (Received this day at 8 a m.) SYDNEY, Ma v 6. Detectives are now investigating a sensational hold-up of a city jeweller, who while nearing his home to-uigiit, was hound and gagged and carried to a local park near his home at AYoollambree, where his keys were extracted from his pocket. The bandits returning to his King Stree„t shop in a car carried off five thousand pounds worth of jewels.
FURTHER PARTICULARS. SYDNEY, Alay 0. The victim was Solomon Cohen who told detectives he was going home. When he alighted from a car lie was hit on the head with something which dazed him. He was hound and gagged and placed into the car. The keys of his shop and the safe were taken from his pocket and handed to a gang of men who drew alongside in another car.
The latter sped away to the city and raided his shop, and stole diamonds and jewels valued at three to four thousand sterling, not five thousand as cabled. • They returned with the keys and Cohen was then bundled out of the other car into Central Park.
