Thieves strike at charity
Thieves bit the hand that feeds some of their partners in crime when they burgled the Prisoners’ Aid Society in Antigua Street on Tuesday night. A door was forced and a quantity of property, valued at $450, removed.
The stolen property comprised mainly clothing for discharged prisoners, and household items. “It was not very valuable money-wise, but it was all useful,” a C. 1.8. spokesman said. In a second burglary on Tuesday night, a post-hole digger and assorted tools, worth a total of $350, were stolen from a builder’s shed in Gloucester Street.
The shed, owned by Butterfield Construction, Ltd, is on the site of a new block of flats. Christchurch detectives are also investigating the theft of a $l5O watch and $l3O in cash from a house in Norwich Street, North Linwood.
