A DOUBLE ERROR
Recently Mr. G. F. Green, was awakened at his home in Bishop's Avenue, East Finchley—a road where many burglaries have been committed recently—by the burglar alarm. In the dim light of the kitchen he discerned a .nan's figure. Immediately 1 locked the kitchen door and went towards the telephone to call the police. Before he could reach it two uniformed policemen seized him. There was a short struggle before Mr. Green could explain who he was. Going to the kitchen the constables found, that Mr. Green's captive was their own colleague, who wore a cap and a dark blue macintosh. The police had been attracted to the house, aad a burglar who was actually inside had set the alarm in action in scrambling through the kitchen window. An immediate search was made, but he had vanished. "The burglar only had time to break open a child's money-box," said Mr. Green, "and there was nothing in that." Early last'year Mr.Gfeen's house was broken into while he was dining and property worth about £125 was taken.
