BUILDING RANSACKED
Four Doors Prised Open THIEVES’ FEAST By Telegraph.—Press Association. Napier, July 26. A burglary, apparently by an experienced gang, was perpetrated last night at the premises of Ellison and Duncan, in Wagnorne Street, Port Ahuriri. Three solid timber and steel doors were prised open with a crowbar, and the strongroom door was treated in the same way. A safe weighing seven hundredweight was lifted off a stand in the strongroom, and carried into the passage, where the hinges, three-quarters of an inch thick, were cut with n hacksaw. A quantity of money and cheques was taken, and the place ransacked. The thieves made a meal of pork and beans, and also broke into the wine cellar, where they took hotties of beer.
