BURGLARY IN CUBA STREET.
. CASH TAKINGS REMOVED. On Thursday night a dairy in Cuba Street, occupied by Mr and Mrs Barnes, was entered and between £lB and £2O cash takings and other contents of a cash-box were removed. Mr and Mrs Barnes were spending the evening out and their daughter retired to bed on shutting up the shop. The cash box, holding money and papers, was left in Mr and Mrs Barnes’s bedroom, where it was concealed in a wardrobe. Mrs Barnes came home during the evening and found the back door of the dwelling, which is at the rear of the shop, wide open. She went inside and, after telephoning for her ■husband, entered the bedroom, where she found the wardrobe open, with its contents scattered over the floor. The empty cash box was lying on the bed. The drawers in a dressing tsjble were ransacked and their contents thrown on the floor.
