“HANDS UP OR I SHOOT”

YOUNG INTRUDER CAUGHT. Paeroa, Jan. 28. A display of youthful audacity was given in Paeroa last evening. A lady, whose house had been entered a night before and a small sum of money stolen, was on the Paeroa railway station when she saw a youth walk up to and knock at the door of her house nearby. No one answered the knock, so the youth walked in. Help was summoned, and on the party entering the house the youthful thief held them up with a gun, shouting, “Hands up or I’ll shoot!” One of the party rushed the youth, and on being overpowered it was found that he was armed with a harmless toy pistol. There will be a sequel to the affair at the Juvenile Court to-morrow.
