DARING BURGLERY.
Hawera, Last Night. A piost brazen robbery, involving the removal of a, safe weighing six hundredweight was perpetrated on Saturday night or early on Sunday morning. The affair occurred.at the bacon factory of Messrs T. H. Walker and Sons, Ltd., Tawhiti road, and owing to the size and weight of the safe, at least four men with a motor lorry must have been engaged. ‘The front door was forced, the bulrg'lars going into the office, the manager’s desk being ransacked and hooks gone through, but no money was found; the safe was then removed without the floor being marked. Inside was a sum of £7 and the more important of the firm’s books and records. Before they left, the burgkfrs helped themselves to a fill of benzine from the firm’s petrol pump.
