EPIDEMIC OF THEFTS.
AUCKLAND SOLICITORS SUFFER. By Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland, March 8. An epidemic of theft of cash boxes prevails in Auckland recently. A solicitor’s offices in one of the largest Queen Street buildings were visited, while two of the staff of J. F. Hosking, barrister and solicitor, were at work in two separate rooms. The intruder entered the main office, opened a small door in the counter, and removed the cash box containing about £36. It is stated that the offices of two other solicitors were entered, and thefts committed on the same day. On Thursday a clerk employed by a well-known Auckland solicitor, delivered a cheque at the wrong office. Discovering his mistake, the clerk went to the office and asked for its return. The lady clerk told him that while she was in the office the cash box, containing the cheque, as well as some money, had been stolen.
