PICKPOCKETS ABROAD
PUNTERS HEAVY LOSSES P.A. AUCKLAND, Apl. 15. Pickpockets on the EUerslie racecourse took £4OO from unwary punters in the first two days of the Easter racing carnival. This is the first time in 10 years that pickpockets have operated so successfully on EUerslie. Wallets from hip pockets were the greatest source of revenue. The police view is that the pickpockets were operators from overseas. One punter lost £220, and others from £ls to £6O. One wallet was taken from an inside coat pocket.
