Heroic chase ends in capture of hotel thief
Albert Winn, described as a fair haired man aged about 32, entered the North Star hotel office at Kimberley Aberley last Tuesday. The bartender alerted Harry Drew, who found his own safe opened and $550 cash and cheques missing. Drew pursued Winn across a snow covered bridge, where Winn fired at the pursuers and hid beneath. Drew bravely jumped the bridge to seize the thief, handing him to police after a brief struggle. Winn was committed for trial at the next session.
