MELBOURNE YOUTHS ACTIVE. Boy burglars arc again active in Melbourne. Their latest escapade is a daring raid, involving a perilous climb, which detectives frankly admit they would not undertake for £IOOO. To enter the Leviathan Clothing Store the boys climbed the fire escape outside the building to the top iloor, and thence along a four-inch pipe to the fiat roof.

Once inside the building they visited every iloor and obtained a haul of over £2O.
