DARING THIEVES
GOODS STOLEN FROM SHOPS I I OWNERS UNAWARE OF LOSS. I . j (Per United Press Association.) ASHBURTON, September 13. I Two men who visited Ashburton last | Friday spent a good deal of time stealing goods from shops, and daring methods enabled them to walk out of a number of business premises carrying articles valued at nearly £IOO. The thefts took place during the busiest hours of the busiest day of the week. None of the shopkeepers who had been robbed knew about their losses till the police asked them to identify articles which had been recovered at an outfitter’s shop. The men took over £ls worth of goods. One engaged the attention of the man behind the counter while the other tried on overcoats and suits and looked at ties and scarves. When they left they carried an overcoat, a suit, a number of ties, and a shirt. From another shop they took several pairs of trousers, two suits, an overcoat, several scarves, and some cutlery. Elsewhere they took watches and inexpensive jewellery.
