worth $10,825
By A CHINA MAIL REPORTER
A crack team of burglars ripped through steel-wire mesh, cut an eight-inch hole in a plate-glass display window and stole 25 expensive wrist-watches worth $10,825 from the Gloucester Arcade jewellers, Dabera Ltd, early this morn- ing.
This is the third time burglars have successfully victimised Dabera Ltd. They broke in short- ly after the opening of the shop 12 years ago, and again six months later.
Gaping hole spotted
The management then installed the steel-wire grille, but this did not dotor the pre-dawn theft this morning. The first inkling of what had happened came when a Gloucester Hotel lift operator spotted the gaping hole and large cracks in the display window, and raised the alarm at 6.45 am.
The Arcade's night watchman was successfully eluded by

The owner and manager of the shop, Mr A. Beraha, told the China Mail that the burglary was obviously u well-organised and skilfully executed professional operation.
The burglars had planned everything carefully and brought along the right instruments to force the steel-wire grille, and then methodically cut through the thick plate-glass before removing the valuable watches.
