Big-Scale Thefts From Apia PWD
(From Our Own Correspondent) 'VIEWS of alleged large-scale li thefts of timber and other building materials from the Public Works Department caused a big sensation along the Apia water front in late April.
The police had by then recovered well over £l,OOO worth of timber and corrugated iron taken from the PWD timber-yard at Vaimea.
Truckloads of allegedly stolen material are being traced, and the indications are that material has
gone to many places in Upolu and even to Savai’i.
It seems possible that the total value of material involved may run into tens of thousands of pounds.
The police will also investigate possible charges of receiving stolen goods.
