Jade ornaments
and other jewellery were included in the "swag" taken by the robbers from the two firms in China Building viz, the Popular Silk Store and the Pioneer Silk Store.
During the week-end, detectives visited a Chinese fut in Lyndhurst Terrace, where a pearl necklace and another set of pearla worked out in the design of a flower, were found. It was suspected that these might be connected with the recent burglary at the Pioneer Store.
