ALLEGED THEFT OF RINGS
GREYMOUTH MAN ARRESTED.
SIMPLE METHOD EMPLOYED.
By Telegraph—Press Association. Greymouth, Last Night. Two jewellers' shops were robbed of rings to-day by a man who is believed to be unemployed. An arrest was subsequently made. Asking to see engagement rings at Tennent’s, he distracted Mr. Tennent’s attention, removing' one, and saying he would bring his fiancee to see a ring he liked. Mr. Tennent then discovered his loss and informed 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 woman assistant, who later followed and identified a man in a hotel bar, as also did Mr. Tennent. A constable saw the man drop one ring on the floor, and the other ring was found behind a barrel.
