GREYMOUTH BURGLARS
JEWELLERS’ LOSS
Burglars are still active in Greymouth, their latest victim being the firm of Gilbert Bros., jewellers, in Tainui Street, who in the early hours of this morning lost stock to the value of between £6O and £7O. The burglars entered the shop by the front door, prising open a brass padlock and then a Yale-type lock neutralising the latter by breaking the framework of the door. Eighteen men’s watches on trays in the window were taken, but apparently nothing else. The burglary was discovered about five o’clock this morning. During last week-end unauthorised persons entered the office of the Sash and Door Factory in Whall Stree't, and though they obviously made an intensive search, nothing was taken.
