BURGLARY AND FIRE
JEWELLER'S PREMISES
THIEVES MISS RICH HAUL'
(By Telegraph—Press Association.)
WHANGAREI, This Day.
An outbreak of fire late last night in the shop of Julius Maurer, jeweller, Cameron Street, led to the revelation of a daring burglary, a number of valuable articles having been taken. The intruders used a'jemmy to enter through a window and a- heavily barred door. The fire brigade found the shop floor bestrewn with articles of jewellery and a smouldering mattress alongside the door of the strongroom, which the thieves failed to force, thereby missing a rich haul of goods and a deposit of £150 belonging to a radio dealer next door. Considerable damage was done to the stock in the shop by fire, water, and smoke.
