FARMHOUSE INTRUDER
DISAPPEARANCE IN CAR (Special to Times) TE AWAMUTU, Monday The Te Awamutu police were called on Saturday morning to investigate the visit of an unwelcome intruder to a farm house at Pokuru during milking hours. It appears that a tallish man wearing a grey overcoat and cap gained entrance to a farm house by getting through the window of a bedroom occupied by a ten-year-old child.
The little girl saw the intruder, and feigning sleep watched and seized a favourable opportunity ot dodging past the man through the room door. She gave the alarm and the visitor cleared out. Her father was able to give a description of the car to the police, who traced wheel tracks to the Puniu Bridge. They ask for information from the public about the movements of the car, a light model greyish-brown in colour. It travelled along the Pokuru-Te Awamutu road at about 6 a.m. on Saturday.
