DARING BURGLARY.
TOBACCONIST’S SHOP ENTERED,
Per Press Association
WELLINGTON, Feb. 4. Burglars who entered the shop of W. Hill, tobacconist and hairdresser, of Tory Street, displayed remarkable daring, according to the story of a young man who was in the vicinity. . His uncle’s car was parked in an alleway at the rear of the shop, and he was waiting outside the shop when two men engaged him in conversation. He heard the rattle of tools from the back of the shop, but did not think that anything was amiss. Next morning tools were found to be missing, and when the owner returned to the shop he discovered them at the back door which had been forced open. Tobacco, machines, razors and money, of a total value of about £lO, are stated to have been taken.
