Burglars entered the stores ol .T. B. Young, Ltd , and W. 13. Freebody, Monai-n Street, Queanbeyan, between G o'clock on Friday night and S a.m. Saturday, \\hen,boih shops were clos- ed, and stole assorted goods to the value of £131."A
Entry was effected Into Mr. Free
body's store by/smashing a panet in the back daoivluid operating the key. About .C1 worth of .stamps and cop- pers were thqn extracted from ii
drawer. It ia stated that no omer goods-were taken.
At J. B. Young's the thefts were
more, compterfbnslvc. From indica- tions",'one of the thieves obtained en- trance by smashing a skylight and ppening a docrf. for his companion.
They then proceeded -to thoroughly
canvass the different departments and into purloined? suit-cases, packed an assortment of ¡chosen goods, consist- ing of leather motor coats, and men's and women's -wijar lot' the choicest de-
scription. "
They woio evidently experienced burglars and partook of a meal, chos- en from goods*-purloined from the grocery department, in the office ot
the establishment, and one man even had the assurance to discard an old shut and don another. A neighbour heard noises and* saw a, light in Young's store on Friday night; but thought some ot\tbe employees were working there. 'It is thought, Irom the volume of the goodsN taken, that the burglars used a motor car to carry away the goods. The Quean- beyan'police have the matter hi hand.
