Youth fined $50 for receiving milk cash
To mark the disfavour of the community a 17-year-old youth who pleaded guilty to receiving 6c cash taken from a milk bottle would be fined $5O, said Mr F. G. Paterson, SJVI., in the Magistrate’s Court yesterday. It was not a very good sort of community where people had to go to such lepgths to protect the money in their milk bottles.
Bruce Wayne Castle, a storeman packer, was charged with receiving 6c from Tony David LeGros early on Sunday morning. Detective Sergeant J. C. Crookston said that early
on Sunday morning the complainant was woken by an alarm which he had installed in his milk box. He had then rung the police and told them that someone was interfering with his milk box. The complainant had arranged with the milkman to have the alarm installed and had also agreed with the milkman to use marked coins. When the defendant and
his associate had been picked up by the police, about half a mile from the scene of the crime, the defendant was found to have three 2c marked coins in his possession.
