AUDACIOUS YOUTHS
MOTOR-CAR TAKEN FROM
WHARF
Taken from where it had been left standing on the Taranalf Street Wharf at 9 o'clock on Tuesday morning, a light five-scater motor-car, belonging to Messrs. Rough ;»nd Co., Ltd., was discovered by detectives later in the day in Marine Parade, } Worser Bay. It had been brought into collision with a telegraph pole, and was damaged to some extent, although not badly. About an hour after the car had been taken from the wharf a loud crash brought a number of City Council workmen to the scene of the accident, where they found the car, with its mudguards caved in and a bicycle protruding through the hood. Two youths, both about fourteen years of age, were sitting in the front seat. They said that the car belonged, to their father, and that he had lent it to them to go for a picnic. Saying that they would get someone to tow the car home, they took out their bicycle, a"nd, one seated behind the other, rode away.
