ENTERPRISING BURGLAR.
OPERATING IN AUCKLAND.
Auckland, March 13.
Between closing hour last night and 7 o’clock this morning Tren* with Bros, boot and shoe factory and R. Walton and Co.’s “Lion” boot factory, in Wakefield Street, were burglariously entered. In both premises the safes were blown open and from Trentwith’s was stolen. When the employees of the factories arrived this morning it was found that the front doors of both premises were forced. The safes had been almost completely wrecked, evidently by the use of a powerful explosive. Heaps of packing and other material showed that precautions had been taken to deaden the sound of the explosion but the charge in each case had been made sufficiently strong to prevent any chance of failure. __________
