A thief forced the front passenger-side window of the doctor's car while it was parked in a carport next to his house at 2.50am yesterday. The drugs and instrwaents were in a bag in the car. Another bag, ` with similar contents, was stolen from the same place after the same cax win- dow was forced last month. The doctor's name was not released. His wife said yesterday tha,t her husband left the bag in the cax deliberately because it was unsafe to leave it in the house and his surgery was often broken into. The acting chief of the CIB, Supt Roy Gues~, said that the bag stolen yester- day contained morphine and pethidine. He said tha,t there had not been a dra- matic increase in drug thefts in recent months but there would always be some people tryin to find drugs illegally in doctors' bags ar.d at surgeries. - [Excerpts] ~Perth THE WEST AUSTRALIAN in English 14~ May 80 p 13] BAIL ON DRUG CHARGE--A man committed to stand trial for allegedly supplying drugs worth about $5,000 w~,s granted $30,000 bail at the District Court, Parra- matta, yesterday.
