DESPICABLE THEFT
THE BLIND ROBBED By Telegraph—Press Association WELLINGTON, December 17. Taking advantage of the densely thronged streets after the march of the Grenadier Guards’ Band, a thief made a hurried entrance and exit fio-.n an optician’s shop, getting away with a collection box for the Institute for the Blind, which contained between £2 and £3. An assistant heard a noise and rushed in from the back. He was too late, the box having been wrenched from the wall and the thief gone. A similar box disappeared recently from the shop of an optician in Petone.
