BURGLARS IN WAREHOUSE
ATTACK ON SAFE FAILS USE OF EXPLOSIVES Cheques worth- between £2OO and £3OO and cash amounting to nearly £SO were in a safe which burglars failed to open when they entered the furniture warehouse of Tylers, Limited. Anzac Avenue, during Tuesday night. Explosives wej-e nsed on the safe, apparently in an experienced fashion, and the dwr jammed. The premises tvsre entered by the forcin,; of a hac\ window on the ground floor, neur Eden Crescent, and the intruders went immediately to- the front of the building to attempt to open the safe. The attempt was not discovered until yesterday morning when employees arrived at the premises. It is considered that at least two persons were engaged. Although an iron bar and a screw-driver left behind in the office indicated that the intruders left us quickly as possible, the safw door bore signs of an endeavour to force it after it was expanded and jammed by the explosion. In other parts of the premises, opened cabinets gave the impression of an intensive search, for money by the ntruders. The theory that they were concerned exclusively with finding money is borne out by the fact that no other articles in the premises were' disturbed.
