ALLEGED PILLAGING OF N.Z. MEAT CARGOES IN BRITAIN
(P.A.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Three hundred beef carcasses worth about £15,000 are said to have been pillaged from New Zealand cargoes while they were being unloaded in British ports recently. Representatives of the Shaw Savill and Albion Line and the Port Line declined to make any definite statement today on the subject, but would not deny that large numbers of carcasses of frozen meat had “gone astray” at British ports.' . . The meat was stolen, it is thought, when cargoes were being discharged, possibly by-short tallying. It is believed that there has been pillaging of New Zealand meat cargoes on a large scale and there is a suggestion that a black market ring has been operating on the waterfront. At least three ships carrying New Zealand meat cargoes are thought to have been involved.
