POLICE TAKE CAR KEYS
Precautions After Escape (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. Nov. 23. Hamilton police were tonight directed to confiscate all car keys left in unattended vehicles. This step was taken after the escape from the Hamilton police lock-up of a convicted car converter. “We are doing this as a precaution,” said Superintendent J. H. Dennehy. “The drivers will have to come to the station to pick up their keys.” The prisoner, Kenneth Norman Collis, aged 25. smashed the lock on a door leading to the station exercise yard and pushed his way through a barbed wire enclosure. Collis was to have been taken to New Plymouth tomorrow to face a charge of car conversion.
