ALERT CONSTABLE.
SMART WORK AT FOXTON. TWO MEN ARRESTED. FOXTON, August 29. Smart work on the part of Constable R. Owen was responsible for the arrest of two men on a charge of burgling two Levin drapery establishments during the week-end. Constable Owen noticed two women arrive at Foxton in a taxi with five suit cases. His suspicions were aroused when later in the day they were joined by two men who arrived by service car. The strangers deposited their bags in a local fruit shop and went off. Constable Owen communicated with the Levin police, and a search of the bags revealed property missing from Levin shops. Subsequently the two men were arrested on the highway two miles north of Foxton, and allegedly they admitted the offence at Levin. Brought up in Court before a Justice of the Peace, Bernard Cummings, aged 21, and Garth Durrant, aged 24, were charged with breaking and entering the premises of J. E. Wallace and W. Davie, at Levin. They were remanded to appear at Wellington.—(P.A.)
