A Sneak Thief Robs Shop Till Then Fleeced of Coins
Miss Morrison reported a shop robbery yesterday in which a till and a small box holding about £11 in gold silver and copper were taken. A suspicious man wearing dumgaree trousers visited the shop and demanded change before 12 o enck. Constable Garo and others pursued leads, identifying a man named John dues who was found with silver and coins. The thief fled with the till and money box, and the case hinges on the witness accounts and the suspect’s movements around the time of the robbery.
