TWO PREMISES ENTERED LAST NIGHT. Still another couple of biitglaries occurred iu Hastings last night This time the drapery establishment of Messrs. Millar and Giorgi. Heretaunga street, and th© boot repairfag shop of Mr. T. Dewsnap, of Warren street, were broken into. XEillar and Giorgi’s premises were entered from the rear, the door being prized open and the thief helped himself to clothes, including an overcoat, five suits, and a Gladstone bag, but no cash was taken, nor was the safe tampered with. The value of the goods stolen is estimated as iu the vicinity of £lOO. There was about a pound’s worth of change the till, but that was left untoucned Mr. Dewsnap’s premises were also . broken into from the rear, the door being forced open, but the burglar saw nothing which took his fancy except a pair of boots, had been re paired, and fhese he annexed. There was no cash left in the shop. There Ts a rumour current that the fires which have been occurring are connected with these burglaries, and it is said that the outbreaks have been started to distract the attention of the police from the thieves’ operations. The rumour may be taken for what it is worth.
