PICKPOCKET AT WORK.
THEFT IN CITY STORE. WOMAN LOSES PURSE. A case of pickpocketing in a city store was reported to the police last evening. When Mrs. Ethel Soden, of Beach Road, Northcote, was shopping in a crowded department store just after five o'clock she was jostled twice by a man. On going to the ferry-boat she found that a thief had gone through both pockets of her overcoat. A purse containing £4 and gloves, a tramway pass and a season ferry ticket were missing. The thief also took some medical formulae which are of particular value to Mrs. Soden, who is a district nurse of the St. John Ambulance Association.
