AUCKLAND CRIME
Experienced Detectives to fee Transferred From the South COMMISSIONER WILL CLEAN CITY (.From Our Resident Correspondent .) d i i\<t rr • WELLINGTON, To-day. ‘p Auckland has reached such proportions that Police Commissioner W. B. Mcllveney has expressed a determination at any cost to clear the city if it is humanly possible.
“Owing to the increase in crime and the need for additions in the strength of experienced detectives in Auckland,” he declared to-day, “I have arranged for the transfer to that city of:
Detective-Sergeant J. Bickerdike and Detective A. Allan, from Christchurch. Detectives J. Hunt and F. Sinclair, from Wellington. Detective W. Roycroft, from Dunedin. .
"I am determined that so far as it is humanly possible for me to do, I will clear Auckland of the criminal element, which has caused me some concern for some time past. All these men are experienced and able detectives, and while their absence from other cities will probably be a loss to the officers in immediate control, their services are more urgently required in Auckland at the present time.”
Appointments to replace the transferred men will be made shortly.
