ROBBERY OF MAILS.
THIEF AT SYDNEY PARCELS
OFFICE.
(Elec. Tel. Copyright-United Press Assn.j SYDNEY, April 30. During Saturday night fourteen bags of registered letters and parcels were rifled at the Parcels Post Office at Central Square. The thief, apparently, was aware that there was no all-night staff employed on Saturday, and secreted himself in the building prior to its closing. The bags were ripped open and a number of letters opened. Those containing cheques were thrown aside, but it is believed that two hundred others, besides a large number of registered parcels, are missing. The mail was awaiting despatch to inter-State and foreign destinations. This follows a similar occurrence in February, when twenty-five bags were rifled.
