PAWNBROKERS’ DEALS
DISPOSAL OF STOLEN GOODS VIEWS OF THE POLICE dhe Auckland police supports the I Chamber of Commerce in its attitude , that there is no use moving for legis- ! ative measures to restrict the operai tions of city pawnbrokers dealing in I stolen goods, because there are other ! avenues for disposal. Inspector J. t\ . Holli#, whose opinon on the subject was sought by the Chamber of Commerce, advised the council yesterday that he con- ! curred in the council’s views, and j “ Ul ?£estcd no further action should be I taken, as the public was safeguarded | - the Second-hand Dealers’ Act. “It does sometimes occur that businessmen find it necessary to obtain loans from pawnbrokers on new goods to tide them over temporary financial difficulties,” the inspector added. At all times every assistance had been given to the police by pawnbrokers j an <i second-hand dealers in an endeavour to trace offenders selling in stolen property. 1 In view of this information the council decided to inform the Karangahape Road Business Promotion Society that no action could be taken.
