Burglary in full view
Burglars worked in full view of a main road for a time as they forced a safe during a $lO,OOO break-in at a Belfast service station on Sunday night Detective Senior-Ser-geant John Lyall, of the Papanui C. 1.8., has appealed for information from motorists who might have seen suspicious, activity at the Belfast Nietor
and Engineering Company on the Main North Road. The likely time of the burglary was between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. yesterday. “There would have been activity on the forecourt — in full view of the main road,” said Detective Senior-Sergeant Lyall. u The burglars gained W-
try to an office at the front of the service station by removing louvre windows. They then forced the safe and made off with $lO,OOO cash and some cheques. Detective Senior-Ser-geant Lyall said that it was unusual for the service station to have that much money in the safe.
