WOMAN BURGLAR
PISTOL, BLUDGEON, TORCH IN ROOM “INFLUENCED BY MAN” Press Association WELLINGTON. Today. * Suggestions that an unknown man was the moving spirit in the robbery were made in the Police Court today, when Ngaio Turner, a dressmaker, pleaded guilty and was committed to the Supreme Court for sentence on a charge of breaking, entering and stealing a gramophone and records and clothing valued at £lO7 Gs.
The evidence of the detectives was that on searching accused’s room they found an automatic pistol, a sixchambered revolver, a bludgeon and a small torch. The stolen goods had been recovered at a railway station where they had been left by accused in suitcases. She had been in trouble before.
The detectives were of the opinion that she had not been alone in the robbery, but had been assisted by a man who had influence over her. The police did not know who the man was and accused had denied his existence.
