PARTS STRIPPED FROM STOLEN CAR
BOUGHT ONLY THREE DAYS BEFORE (United Press Association! AUCKLAND. 29th January. Bought three days previously, a sedan motor-car was stripped of many expensive parts after being stolen on Saturday night and abandoned two miles away. The front seat, the battery, the carburettor, distributor cap, the spark plugs and the tail light were among parts removed from the car. It was not a new car and was valued at £l3O by its owner, Mr Charles Belton, formerly a police constable who came from Gisborne less than a fortnight ago to live in Auckland. The car was removed from the street outside Mr Belton’s residence. After searching the neighbouring district for a time Mr Belton located the car himself.
