MONEY STOLEN FROM LETTERS
Auckland, September 30,
For the past two months a thief has been operating on private postal delivery boxes at the Chief Post Office and several large firms have missed considerable sums of money, mostly in postal notes from letters addressed to them and placed in the delivery boxes. In many instances letters have been opened and sealed up again after money orders and postal notes have been extracted. In some cases the thief has written on envelopes that they had been opened by the postal authorities. Ever since the first complaint was received the postal authorities and police have been inquiring into the mysterious disappearance of the contents of letters, and Detective E. Nalder has spent many hours at the Post Office, patiently watching for the culprit. As a result of his investigations he arrested a youth of 17 years about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Accused appeared before the Magistrate’s Court when lie was remanded for one week.
