ENTRANCE GAINED
BURGLARY IN SHOP. QUANTITY OF GOODS STOLEN. (Per United Press Association.) Auckland, December 8. Thieves spent some hours in Hallenstein Brothers’ main shop in Queen street during the week-end and departed with two suitcases packed with a variety of men’s wear of the best quality in the shop. An entrance was gained cleverly by climbing on to the roof of a display window- and breaking the glass in a far inside corner, where it was not easily noticeable and jumping into the shop. This morning two more suitcases packed with goods were found inside the shop. It is believed that the thieves, who left the shop after breaking the lock on the main door, were deterred from returning or else the lock of the door clicked on them, shutting them out. The value of the goods stolen is estimated at considerably over £lOO.
