ATTEMPTED BURGLARY
AT FEILDING DRAPERY SHOP.
SAFE BLOWN OPEN BY EXPLOSIVES.
(By Telegraph.—Press Association.) Feilding, this day.
During the week-end the drapery shop of McGruers, Ltd., in Feilding, was entered by burglars and an unsuccessful attempt made to blow open the safe. This is the second similar burglary attempt at Feilding, as the safe in Messrs. J. Cobbe and Company's drapery premises was recently unsuccessfully subjected to a charge of explosive. The burglars gained an entrance to McGruers by means of a rear window. The lock of the safe was blown off by explosives, and the mechanism shattered, but the door could not be opened. A sunvof money was removed from the till in the shop, but it is believed that no stock was taken.
The burglary apparently took place on Saturday 'night, as a resident living near the shop informed the police that she heard a muffled explosion, which she thought was a motor tyre blow-out.
