ALLEGED POCKET-PICKING.
ARRESTS AT RICCARTON.
[m: TELEGRAPH.PRESS ASSOCIATION.]
Christchurch, Sunday. The warnings given to visitors to Christchurch during carnival week to bo on their guard against a gang of Australian pick-pockets appear to have been wellfounded. On the course at Riccarton on Saturday four men, alleged to belong to tho light-fingered fraternity and to be well-known criminals, were arrested by the detectives on a charge of having relieved a man of £70 in money.
Accused were in possession of fairly large sums of money, which did not, however, in the aggregate amount to the sum alleged to have been stolen.
