BURGLARS AT AUCKLAND.
SAFES EXPLODED AND ROBBED. By Telegraph—Press Association. Auckland, Saturday. Between the closing hour last night and seven o'clock this morning Tren•with Bros.' boot and shoe factory and •R. Walton and Co.'s "Lion" ' boot factory in Wakefield street were entered by burglars. In both premises the safes were blown open, and from Trenwith's the sum of £4 was stolen. When the employees of the factories arrived this morning it was found that the front doors of both premises had been forced and the safes had been almost completely wrecked, evidently by the use of a powerful explosive. Heap's of packing and other material showed that precautions had been taken to ieaden the sound of the explosion, but the charge in each case had been made sufficiently strong to prevent any chance of failure. ,
