DARING BURGLARY
PAWNBROKER’S SHOP ENTERED. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, June 26. Jewellery, watches and binoculars valued at approximately £2OO were stolen from the premises of Meltzer Brothers, pawnbrokers and jewellers, Victoria street, in the early hours of this morning. The thieves scaled the walls of the building from a lane at the back of the block of shops and reached the roof. Working with remarkable daring and skill they lifted a sheet of iron with a jemmy and felt their way across the top of the ceiling to a manhole directly above the counter in the ahop. After choosing a varied selection of article* in which jewellery dominated, they left in the manner they came, carrying the loot in suitcases they took from the shelve*.
