INCIDENT NEAR SYDNEY
STORE ALSO HELD UP.
BANDIT GETS AWAY
BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Aoril 18, 10 a.m.) SYDNEY, April 18. After asking a taxi driver to take him to Concord a man, when they reached a lonely spot, forced the driver to pass money over and get out of the car. After questioning him closely regarding the working of the gears, the bandit drove away in the direction of Burwood. Shortly after a car, similar to the one stolen, drew up outside a grocer’s shop in a busy part of Burwood. The driver entered the shop, and ordered the proprietor to hand over the takings. The proprietor ducked behind the counter, and his wife, coming on the scene, commenced to scream at the man. Passers-by rushed in, but the robber escaped in the confusion and drove off. The police night patrol later found the car abandoned in a byway at Enfield. A vigorous search was prosecuted, but no sign of the bandit was discovered.
