BRADFORD NOTE ROBBERY.
POLICE BAFFLED. (BY CABLS—PRESS ASSOCIATION" —COPTBIOHT.) (AUSTRALIAN ArfD N.Z. CABLS ASSOCIATION.) (Received April 15th, 5.5 p.m.) IvOXDON, April 14.
The theft of £17,300 in Treasury notes at Bradford is regarded as one of the most baffling the police ever have encountered. Officials saw the bo's safely deposited in a. wooden safe used for valuable parcels. An astonishing Fact is that the Bradford bank authorities did not enquire regarding its whereabouts until thirty-six hours after its arrival. The pnliee believe that the theft was the work of a| cleverly-organ-ised London gang, which carefully planned it. It is thought that the thieves possessed keys of the safe. Eeing new issue, the numbers of the notes are known. This may help in the detection of the thieves, if an attempt is made to circulate them, though the thieves have a long start.
