TWO SAFES STOLEN
£l5OO Missing In Taupo (NZ. Press Association) ROTORUA, August 31. In one of Taupo’s biggest cash thefts, between £l3OO and £l5OO was stolen from the Totalisator Agency Board safe in Taupo at the weekend. Thieves used three sets of stolen oxy-acetylene equipment to cut open the safe in the board’s Tuwharetoa street office. The theft was discovered by Constable B. Main, of Taupo, about 6 p.m. yesterday. In New Plymouth thieves escaped with a three-foot high safe with £250 inside it in a raid on a Waitara grocery store at the week-end. The raiders wheeled the bulky safe on a hand trolley to the back door and from there loaded it on to a waiting vehicle.
