DARING JEWEL THEFT.
A REMARKABLE ROBBERY. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, April 4. The most daring jewel coup for years occurred at Euston station, when thieves secured two cases of samples worth £30,000. A jeweller’s traveller deposited the cases in the cloak room on Sunday and two similar cases were deposited shortly afterwards, but the contents were valueless. A man, the following day, presented the receipts and obtained the jewels. The theft was discovered when the traveller presented the genuine receipts. It is suggested that during the night the intruder transposed the tickets pasted on the cases. The numbers differed only as regards the final figures, facilitating the forgery of the receipts.
