RINGS STOLEN
AUDACIOUS ROBBERY. MAN ARRESTED. (Per United Press Association.) Greymouth, September 25. Two jewellers’ shops were robbed of rings to-day by a man believed to be unemployed. He was subsequently arrested. Asking to see engagement rings at Tennent’s, he distracted Mr Tennent’s attention, removing one ring and saying he would bring his fiancee to see one he liked. Tennent then discovered the loss, informing the police, but in the meantime the man had gone to Gilbert’s shop in the next block, adopting similar tactics and securing a £27 ring from a lady assistant who later followed and identified him in a hotel bar, as also did Tennent. A constable arriving saw him drop one ring on the floor. The other ring was found behind a barrel. The arrested man appears in Court to-morrow.
