Shop Robbery at Wombwell

On Wednesday as a Mexborough policeman entered the shop of Mr Whittaker, pawnbroker, to warn him against receiving a suit of clothes which had been stolen from the shop of Mr G.H. Heath, of Wombwell, he found a man there offering the very suit in pawn.

The man was immediately arrested, and gave the explanation that he came from a friend. The man in custody is a journeyman Taylor for Mexborough
