THE SAFE-BREAKERS
A POOR HAUL. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Last Night. Burglars entered premises in Mechanics Bay on Monday night and broke open a safe with dynamite. They carried the safe into the back of the building. It is evident that the burglars enveloped the safe in some modelling clay, which they found on the premises, their object being to deaden the noise of the explosion. The remains of four fuses were found near, and it would seem that the burglars worked with gloved hands. The noise of the explosion would not be taken much notice of, as work in the sewer in the vicinity lias required a lot of blasting. The total value of the haul from the safe was about £5.
