BURGLARS AT WORK.
OPERATIONS IN CHRISTCHURCH Per Press Association. CHRISTCHURCH, Nov. 26. The premises of rthe People’s Retail Market, Bath Stneet, off Colombo Street, near Moorhouse Avenue, were broken into last evening and the grocer in the market, Mr C. AVilki.nson, was robbed of about £3O worth of cigarettes and tobacco. A butcher in the building lost a leg of mutton. The big double sliding door of the market facing on Bath Street was found to have been forced this morn, ing. The place was all secure when left last night at 9 o’clock. A peculiar fact about the nobbing of the grocer’s till was that five threepenny mits were left untouched, only the pennies being taken. The thief, or thieves, the circumstances point to the latter assumption, missed the big stocks of tobacco in the grocer’s store. /
