According to reports reaching London police headquarters, racketeers are increasing their operations in many side streets of the metropolis and in the suburbs. Gangs are abroad perpetrating what is nothing less than a swindle on the unsuspecting public. One of the commonest forms of racket which have been worked in the West End during the last few months is the selling of “ mystery packets ” at 6d each. Men take up a situation at various street corners, where they can hope to work undisturbed for a length of time. In a few minutes a crowd gathers. A few (jackets are opened, apparently at random, and found to contain handsomelooking watches. Immediately there is a stampede by five or six men or women to get the' bargains. The first live or six purchasers are lucky, and they walk away displaying what they have received.

This proof of the vendor’s statement that at least every second packet contains a watch is generally seized upon by the crowd, and in less time than it takes to tell, anything up to 100 packets have been sold. But not one of the ordinary buyers is lucky. All they get for their money is a cheap brooch worth perhaps half a farthing. What they did not realise is that the first half dozen purchasers were members of the gang. A man who has worked this racket for several years confessed that he generally reckoned to clear at least £2O a week after all expenses ; had been paid. He owns a snujll car, which he stocks up with the mystery packet. His wife and pretty 20-year-old daughter travel with him to act as decoys. 1 The others, all men, are friends, who have worked with him for years, and are paid a minimum of £3 per week and their travelling expenses. “ I have never given away a gold watch or any kind of watch yet to anyone who was not in tlie swindle, not'even by mistake,” he boasted. Another type of racketeer who is again making his appearance in London is the
