A showcase with a special dis-

SAFES OPENED,
A safe was opened by the simple expedient of prising off a brass fit- ting, and smashing the lock with a punch. About $200 in cash was extracted, and the thieves also took away the bank-books of the firm.

Entry was forced in the usual way, though a small boy seems to have been utilised by the gang to get in, in. the first instance.
Piecing together, this, morning, the story of one of the most dar- ing of large-scale robberies in re- cent months, it was clear that the burglary had evidently been well- planned beforehand.
