BURGLARY RIFE
Four Visits In One
Nijilit
(United Press Association.) Carterton, September 19.
There were four burglaries at Carterton last night. The premises of the Wairarapa Daily News were entered by forcing a side door. All the drawers and desks were opened, the till was forced, the safe opened, and papers and documents strewn everywhere. Seven pounds in cash, and a cheque, were taken, besides railway stamps. The adjacent premises occupied by Mason and Company’s implement works, were also entered, but the safe was untouched, although about 30/- loose cash was taken. In the building of Wairarapa Motors entry was made through a small door in the main doors, the till was wrenched open, a show case smashed, and £3 17/- taken. The side door of Hughans, Limited was forced, the cash register smashed, and a smaller register opened without damage. About £6 was collected. Again, all the office files were strewn around.
