SAFE-BREAKER STILL ACTIVE IN DUNEDIN.
TWO ATTEMPTS MADE; EXPLOSIVE DID NOT WORK Per Press Association. DUNEDIN, December 10. The Dunedin safe-breaker is still active. Last night the premises of the Otago Farmers’ Co-operative Association, in Crawford Street, were broken into through a skylight and the petty cashbox in the strongroom, containing about £5, was stolen. Explosive used. An attempt was also made to blow open the safe inside the strongroom, but it was abortive, for the lock was so damaged that the services of a locksmith were necessary this morning to open the door. A night watchman who was patrolling the block saw nothing to indicate what was going on.
