In
September 1937 the Dover Express newspaper reported on proceedings at Dover
Juvenile Court.
Two
ten year old boys stood accused of breaking and entering a parish hall and
stealing a thermometer, a padlock and four door keys. The combined value of these items was 6
shillings and 6 pence.
After
this little warm up, the boys then went on to their big job. They broke into
Timothy Whites’ shop and stole a truss and a bottle of oil.
Both
boys admitted the charges, and to making a terrible mess in both sets of
premises. One of them had been cautioned previously for trying to trick a stamp
machine into giving him free stamps. They were bound over for two years.
