AN UNUSUAL THEFT
150 DOZEN EGGS TAKEN FRO Al. POULTRY PRODUCER (Per Press Association) AUCKLAND, Last Night. Over 150 dozen, eggs, valued at £l6. have been stolen from the premises of the Auckland Poultry Producers’ Association in Mount Albert. The eggs were laid by birds in competition and the lots were packed ready for sending to the association’s selling agents.
Recently a window at the back of the building was broken open, and the thief removed two boxes containing 30 dozen eggs each and another box with 20 dozen eggs.
Last Sunday night the building was again entered by the same window. The thief cut out the glass pane and removed the barricade. Again the eggs were boxed ready for the market, and the thcif found the task of removing them comparatively easy. The thefts have not interefcred with the competitions, as each bird’s record is carefully checked before the eggs are packed. The police have made an arrest.
