UNDETECTED CRIME
JUDGE'S COMMENTS
(Bj l'ele^rnnli-I'res.- Association
AUCKLAND, This Day,
Addressing ihe Grand Jury at the opening of the criminal sessions today, Mr. Justice Herdman commented on the prevalence of house-breaking and the efforts made lo apprehend offenders.
"House-breaking today appears to bo the most- fancied form of criminal an-
tivity, and I fear many cases of tho kind go undetected," he said. "The reason I am unable to state. Detective officers appear to work ably and well, so does the average constable, and so in some cases do the sergeants. In the. matter of equipment we lug sadly behind in New Zealand. Everybody knows that to get speedily to the place where tho crime is committed is of vital importance. It may be that at the present time we can't afford to launch out in tho matter of expenditure."
