A WARNING 10 THE PUBLIC.....................
; POLICE INSPECTOR REFERS TO THE AARON RECENT, BURGLARIKS.
„It will be observed that during the past wook or so there has been a plethom of burglaries and robberies reported in the Colony. The majority of people have come to the conclusion that the recent influx of a band of loafers from the outlying ports into the city" has been responsible for this outbreak. That this view is also supported at police head- quarters is manifested in an interview which one of our representatives obtained this more- ing with a leading police inspector.

"Up to now the burglaries that have been investigated by the police have shown more of less carelessness on the part of the occupier. Take, for instance, the case of ohs of the tobać- conist shops that was burgled.
