Abies Store Robbed in Broad Daylight Incident
Thieves broke into Messrs. Bros store at a corner on Ballarat road at 3 30 on Thursday and stole cigarettes valued at 45 and silver and bronze coins. A loud explosion-like noise woke them. A 20lb basalt fragment was later found hurled through the plate glass window. The missing stock likely passed through the broken pane. Shorten Bros suffer third break-in by nocturnal workers.
