"We
arc

Sgt.

said.
''However,
the
public
can
protect
themselves
and
assist
us
if
householders
will
observe
these
points
of

Sgt.
Potterton
said
that
evidence
indicates
that
all,
or
most
of
the
recent
housebreakings
in
the
last
month
have
been

that

says
Mr.

report.
There
was
no
suggestion
from
any
source
that

the

In

Advancing
