BURGLARY IN AUCKLAND
POST OFFICE SAFE BLOWN. (By Telegraph-Press Association.) AUCKLAND. This Day. The Albany Street Post Office, at the North Shore, was entered during the night and a safe was blown with gelignite. About £5O, in notes and silver, were taken and also a few pounds’ worth of postage stamps'. The telephone attendant closed the office at midnight, but when another attendant came on duty at 6 o’clock this morning he found the safe blown, apparently by experienced burglars. A nearby resident Said he heard a sound like a muffled explosion about 1.30 a.m. The safe was kept in a soundproof room used for the telephone service.
