THEFTS FROM JEWELLERS

ARREST OF SUSPECT By Telegraph—Press Association GREYMOUTH. September 25. Two jewellers were robbed of rings to-day by a man, believed to be unemployed, who was subsequently arrested. Asking to see engagement rings at Mr Tennent’s, he distracted Mr Tennent’s attention, removing one and saying that he would bring his fiancee to see the one he liked. Mr Tennent then discovered his loss and informed the police. In the meantime the man had gone to Mr Gilbert's shop in the next block. Adopting similar tactics, he secured £27 worth from the woman assistant, who later followed and identified him in a hotel bar as also did Mr Tennent. A constable saw him drop one ring on the floor, and the other ring was found behind a barrel.
