BURGLARS ACTIVE
AUCKLAND SAFES BLOWN. (Per Press Association^ » Copyright.) h : AUCKLAND, Sept. 21. 'Safehlowers were active in th.s suburbs last night, but their efforts did not meet with success. Beale and Company’s branch, store at Sandringham, and the hooking officei of the Green Lane Railway Station were both entered, gellignite being used on the safes at each, place. It is thought that the operators were amateurs rather than skilled cracksmen, as in each case the explosion merely shattered the locking mechanism, and they . ware unable to open- the doors of the safes.
On Monday night burglars tried to break into the luggage room of the Penrose railway station; A jemmy was used on the doors and windows, but an entrance was not gained. It ; s thought that these thieves were disturbed while at work.
