BURGLARS WITH GELIGNITE.
(B_t TELEGRAPH.——PRESS ASSOCIATION, J
CHRISTCHURCH, 3rd January. During the New Year holidays burglars entered the offices of Packer and Jones, builders and timber merchants, Churchill street, and attempted to blow up the safe. By smashing a window at the rear of the place, the intruders made their way to the manager's office. Ramming gelignite into the keyhole of the safe they made a clumsy and unsuccessful attempt to burst it open. , The only damage done to the safe was a fairly deep dent on the side and the shattering of the door handle and fittings. The discovery was made this morning when the office was reopened after the: holidays. As the office was closed since Thursday, it is not known on what night the robbers made their attempt.
