SAFE BLOWN OPEN. OVER £4O STOLEN. HAMILTON FIRM ROBBED. (By Telegraph.—Press Association] HAMILTON, Feb. 17. Breaking a pane of glass at the back of the premises, thieves entered the offices of Turners and Fow, produce merchants, Victoria Street, during last night. They blew open the safe and removed over £4O and a large number of important documents. Several desks were ransacked and the petty cash was removed. All was in order at six o’clock last night. A storeman, Mr. H. King, discovered a damaged window at 7.30 this morning. Aprons missing from the men’s cloakroom had been used to deaden the noise of the explosion. . The burglary was particularly audacious, as the office was flooded with light from street lamps on Main Street. To enter the back window the burglars •limbed the concrete parapet and water pipes.
