Following the arrest of nine alleged thieves, two motor cars were driven away on a Tuesday night in Melbourne. Detectives Carey, Harding, McPherson and a junior officer pursued the thieves along a trail toward the northern suburbs. One car nearly reached Port Melbourne before being abandoned in Porter Bay and another was traced to a different location. Several men were charged with theft and further inquiries were underway. A second incident involved a car abandoned after a chase through Traralgon and Bairnsdale, with occupants described and investigators seeking leads. The headlines also promote the Wonderphone and other devices advertised in the period.
