YOUTHFUL “JOY-RIDERS”
TWO CARS STOLEN INMATES OF WERAROA Three boys from the Weraroa training farm, near Palmerston North, escaped from the institution last Friday and sped round the countryside in stolen cars. The boys were only about 15 years of age, but they seemed able to dxfive any make of motor-car. After leaving the institution they made their way to Levin where they decamped with an Essex car which was standing in the street. Later the Essex was recovered abandoned in Feilding, where it had been left by the boys. At Feilding they stole a Morris-Cow-ley car and proceeded on another run round the country. Yesterday the boys were arrested in Palmerston North and returned to the training farm. Another boy who escaped from Weraroa was found yesterday in a house in Grey Lynn and appeared before the Court this morning to answer several charges of breaking and entering.
