EXTENSIVE SHOPLIFTING
PA DUNEDIN, This Day. May Mahs, a married woman whose shop-lifting depredations in various city stores had extended over a period of two years, was sentenced in the Police Court this morning to 12 months' imprisonment for the. theft of articles valued at £276. It took Chief Detective Hall 10 minutes to read the details of 23 charges and a further blanket charge to cover a large number of articles whose owners have not yet been identified. The Magistrate, Mr. H. W. Bundle, said Mali's thefts were systematic and showed considerable cunning in that it was not until she made the mistake of sending stolen goods to an auctioneering firm that her crimes were detected.
