BURGLARS IN A STORE.
A RICH HAUL MADE. Telegraph.—Press Association. Auckland. Last Night. Wallace and Co.’s store at Pokeno was entered by burglars on Thursday night and the safe removed. It contained £230 in cash and cheques, and £5O in debentures, while £lOO worth of jewellery, 50Ibs. of tobacco, a quantity of cigarettes, and several pairs of boots were stolen. It is understood the burglars used a two-wheeled truck used in the store to remove the safe to a motor-car. The safe was found next morning on the roadside. Residents in the neighborhood heard shots during the night, apparently the work of the burglars in opening the safe. which was opened and damaged. From traces it is apparent the burglars got off the road in removing their booty, for a car was stuck in the mud near where the safe was recovered. and the occupants of the car had obtained the assistance of a farmer to pull them out of the mud at six in the morning.
