DARING BURGLARY
MONEY STOLEN FROM BEDROOM By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, Last Night. While the occupants of a room slept, a burglar crept into a bedroom of a house in Selwyn Street, went through the pockets of coat hanging on the door and then crept round the bed and took from under it a handbag containing about £l5O. Quietly he crept out again, unlocked the back door to let himself out, and vanished. The householder is a dance promoter and he had in the bag the takings from a dance and euchre party held that night and the previous week, in addition to the money from the till of his mercer’s shop. It had been his practice to keep his dog in the house and this was the first, time there had been a considerable sum of money and no dog there.
