SOLDIER BANDITS
TWO OFFENDERS SENTENCED CONSTABLES HELD UP (Reed This Day, 9.55 a.m.) RUGBY, April 1. The soldier bandits who held up two constables on March 2 have been sentenced, Andrew Vanberburg to 10 years and Reginald Kaye to three years. The judge, in passing sentence, said although Kaye is under seventeen few boys could have packed more violence into twenty-four hours. He could count himself lucky that he was not flogged as well as imprisoned. Clark, a van boy, who was charged with demanding money with menaces, was found not guilty and discharged.
A cablegram from London on March 2 stated: —After- a search for two men, who, dressed in military uniforms, held up a patrol car at the revolver point and forced two constables to alight, after which they escaped in the car, the police arrested two soldiers, Andrew Vanderburg and Reginald Kaye, of the Twelfth Lancers, stationed at Tidworth. The men were arrested after a struggle in which two policemen were injured.
