HOLD-UP IN SHOP
MASKED BANDITS CAUGHT (Australian Press Assn.) SYDNEY, Aug. 5. Two masked robbers who secreted themselves in Michael Briggs’ butchers’ shop at Redfern to-night bound and gagged Briggs and covered him with a revolver. They commenced to hunt for cash and discovered a bottle of whisky. They had impudently consumed a large portion, when a woman neighbour, hearing the men’s threats to Briggs, telephoned to the police, who dashed to the scene in a car and arrested the bandits, but not before a shot was fired by one at the woman who gave the alarm.
