BAG SNATCHING
EUROPEAN LADY ROBBED IN CENTRAL MARKET
THE POLICE VIGILANT
Yet another European lady had her hag snatched from her on Saturday in the Central Market. The Police, however, have arrested a suspected youth and further developments are confidently expected as clucs bave been obtained which will lead to the gang being broken up.
Mrs. Stewart of Stanley-terrace, Quarry Bay, was shopping in the Cen- tral Market about 11 a.m., on Saturday when a Chincce boy of about 15, grab- bel and made of with her handbag, containing $0 in noles, and a rolled gold elgarette case.
Another Robbery
On Friday, Mrs. Dickson of No. 02, Kennedy-road, was similarly robbed as she was walking down the market steps to Dea Vaux-road Central.
Detectives have been busy and the arrcat is in connection with the earlier of the two offences.
Two other ladles lost their hand- bags similarly on consecutive days some weeks ago and the Police have maintained extra vigliance since.
In Spi-street (near "Paddy's" Mar- ket) last night, however, a Chiness child was robbed of a rattan bangle mounted with gold.
