22 Rings Stolen.
Twenty-two diamond rings, the value of which has not been given officially, but at a conservative estimate thev must be worth more than £ 1000, were stolen from the shop premises of J. Williams and Company, Ltd., Victoria Avenue, Wanganui. The theft
was accomplished in a particularly daring fashion during the shopping hours. The rings were set in a plu<hfinished tray for window display purposes, and it is believed that a person skilled in the lifting of valuable property took up a position ihsidelhe I
shop, and near the street windows, assuming the appearance of a customer, and then, when an opportunity offered, calmly passed a hand into the window, removed the tray, and walked out, probably after having put the tray in a bag or a basket.—fP.A;)
