£4,000 Stolen From Bank

From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, July 5.

BREAKING into the Bank of New South Wales at Lautoka, thieves stole £4,000 between midnight on June 30 and daylight the following morning.

The money was taken from the strong room, where it had been placed in a box ready to be transported to the Tavua goldmines to pay employees. The box was later found across the road, broken open.

No locks on the bank premises were broken and the strongroom was intact.
