JEWELLER’S SHOP RAIDED.
THEFT OF WATCHES. Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, Feb. 20. Thieves carried out a smash and grab raid on a jewellery shop at Milton on Saturday night. They were evidently disturbed for, after taking a quantity of articles from the window, mostly women’s watches, they left untouched rings and watches well within their reach.

Tile window was cracked from top to bottom, and the falling glass caused considerable damage to crystal and chinawarc.
