High Points Merchants Sleeping in Stores to Prevent More Burglaries, Nov. 30, 1920

By the Associated Press, High Point, N.C., Nov. 30—Merchants in this city are sleeping in their stores because of the series of burglaries that have occurred here in the past 10 days. The number of patrolmen on the night shift is said not to be large enough to watch the district. The burglaries have caused a loss of merchandise valued at several thousand dollars, it is reported.
