1000 Bicycle Thefts
Prior to giving his decision in
case in the Magistrate's Court at Palmerston North, Mr. H. P. Lawry, S.M., commented on the prevalence of bicycle thefts in Palmerston North. “There have been a large number of bicycles taken in this city; last year there were close on 1000,” lie said. “It is not often the police have definite evidence that the theft of a bicycle has taken place and that it was not a case of conversion.” Of late there had been a large number of cases of actual theft, he added, and in view of the prevalence of the offence he would impose a term of three months’ imprisonment.
