Four Men Face Robbery Charge

POLICE TAKE -

SERIOUS VIEW

Thefts Of Cable

The serious view taken by the police regarding the recent cases of thefts, of cable was stressed by the Inspector-Gene- ral of Police, the Hon. Mr. T H. King, when he prosecuted in a case before Mr. W. Schofield at Central Magistracy yesterday.

Four Chinese were charged with malicious damage to cables, the property of the Great Northern Telegraph Company, in Blue Pool Road on March 2, and theft" of same.

Defendants were Sul Cheong, 30. unemployed, Sui Wing, 26, earth- carrying coolie. Wong Lam, unem- ployed and Wong Sang, 37, unem- ployed:

A fifth man. Leung Sam, un-

licensed mare hawker, charged with receiving the cables, was re- manded for 24 hours to have his

anger-prints taken when he denied a previous conviction.

The Inspector General of Police Bald His Worship had shown his appreciation of the gravity of these cases recently, but he wished to

emphasise it. There had been four Cases in the last eight months. "I wish to add," Mr. King said, "that owing to a rise in metal also, there is a very big in- the price of metals, and scrap-

ducement to commit larceny of all sorts, and there are also signs of a big programme of thefts of metals Only a few days ago on a country road a whole railing of fron was removed, sawn up, and taken away. in a lorry. I do not, of course, wish to press that case against these men, but in this case communication with Shanghai had been interrupted and I wish to. eraphasise this serious state of affairs."

Mr. King concluded by saying the police were making endeavours to trace and deal with the re- ceivers in these metals. The post-

tion with regard to them was also

very servious."
