SHOP IS ROBBED OF $700 BY A BURGLAR: NO CLEW FOR POLICE
Detectives sought vainly today to find a clew to the burglar who, last night, robbed the safe in Duffy's department store, at Mitchell and Forsyth streets, of $700 in cash.
The manner in which the burglar entered the store is a mystery. Detectives say it is possible that he climbed on the roof and entered through a skylight, which was found open, or that he may have opened the door with a skeleton key. He is supposed to have worked the combination on the safe, as the door was found closed.
A lot of clothing was scattered on the floor by the marauder. Nothing but the money has been missed.
The robbery was discovered this morning when the store was opened for the day's business.
