LARGE THEFT OF SHEEP
About 150 Wethers Missing
By Telegraph—Press Association. AUCKLAND, May 10. About 150 Romney wethers were apparently stolen recently from Rotoehu sheep station, near Rotorua, owned by Lichtenstein, Arnoldson and Company, Ltd., of Auckland. For some weeks past the Rotorua police have been making investigations into the disappearance of tho sheep, but without result, and now a reward of £25 has been offered for information concerning the loss. “There cun bo no doubt that it is a case of sheep-stealing, ” said Mr Lichtenstein. “A thorough search has been made of the property, and it is proved quite definitely that the sheep have not become isolated in some remote portion of it, nor can there be any suggestion that they strayed off the station, as the boundaries are all well held. “About six or seven years ago wc lost over 300 sheep in one season,” Mr Lichtenstein added. “It is a serious matter, as it is difficult to prevent such thefts from largo properties.”
