BIG BANK BOBBERY.
£5448 STOLEN,
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright Hobart, Feb. o. Two robbers entered the Bank of Australasia at Queenstown, and gagged and bound teller Brownrigg. The latter was working in the Bank after 10, and had the safe open. Answering a knock at the door, two men dashed in and covered Brownrigg with a revolver. They then made the teller secure, coolly removed the gold and Dotes from the safe, and escaped. It was half-past four before Brownrigg could wriggle to the door dividing the Bank from his residence to obtain assistance. The robbers secured 415448, £6OO being in gold and silver.
