ROBBERIES IN SYDNEY
SYDNEY, November 14.
As a result of several days’ shadowing of a suspect and of overhearing his conversation, detectives paid a surprise visit to a house at Paddington. After a fierce fight, the suspect wounding two detectives with a knuckle-duster, the man was arrested.
Ten bags of jewellery, valued at £IOOO, the proceeds of recent robberies, were seized.
The police declare that a desperate gang of foreign criminals are at present operating in Sydney. Following the seizure of the jewellery, a youth named Taylor was arrested. Taylor’s arrest was not in connection with the seizure of jewellery at Paddington. He was arrested on suspicion of being connected with a jewellery theft at Woollahra.
