THIEVES SYPHON GAS FROM PARKED AUTOS
Gasoline thieves are active in Camden and suburbs, motorists were warned yesterday by Detective Lieut. Samuel Johnson.
Joyriders and youths with jallopies are believed responsible for many cases where gas has been syphoned from auto tanks when cars are parked in the street.
Six garages in the rear of the Liberty Bottling Company at 1135 Liberty street were broken into and gas stolen. Complaints have also been made by motorists whose cars were parked at night on Roosevelt Plaza.
