Peter Kaimoana, aged 22, a workman, and Joseph Maraki, aged 25, a labourer, charged in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday with breaking and entering the Trist Delicatessen at 89 Estuary road on October 27, were committed to the Supreme Court for trial. Messrs A. C. Rhodes and P. A. Leßrun, Justices of the Peace, were on the bench. The accused pleaded not guilty, and were represented by Mr L. M. O’Reilly. Both were remanded in custody after Detective Sergeant E. T. Mitten had opposed an application for bail.

Elza Veronica Trist said that goods worth more than £5O were stolen from her shop. Constable R. L. Stapley said that at 3.15 a.m. he saw a car stop near an alley leading to a block of shops in Estuary road. At 3.40 a.m., as he drove a police car in Bridge street, he saw a man in an alley. He shone a spotlight on the man, who turned and ran. After calling on the radio for assistance he went to a car and found the back crammed with goods which appeared to have come from a shop which had been entered. Later he recognised Kaimoana as the man he had seen in the alley. Constable R. D. Cumming, handler of the police dog Glen, said the dog picked up a scent at the shop and followed it to Union street Two men approached, and the dog made to go up to one of them, who was Kaimoana. The other was Maraki. They appeared to have been running. Kaimoana had a pair of red pliers in his hip pocket and a pair of black leather gloves in his jacket pocket. Both men were taken to the Central Police Station. ' (Before Mr E. S. J. Crutchley, S.M.)
