CRIME IN BRISBANE
SOME DARING THEFTS. Crime is on the increase in Brisbane. If motor cars are not stolen in such numbers as in Sydney and Melbourne, says the correspondent of the Melbourne Argus, many thieves are engaged in stealing accessories whenever ears are left unattended. Spare wheels, magnetos, and tools disappear. Whenever a fire occurs in a car and it is left overnight only a stripped vehicle Is there next day. The other day an old car to bo used in a theatrical production one Saturday afternoon was left standing in the street not 100 yards from the criminal investigation branch. When the driver returned he found two men about to remove a magneto. One night recently thieves sawed through the iron bars protecting the window of a fur shop in one of the principal streets and removed furs valued at £250.
