Theophilus Philip Starke’s shoe shop — fraudulent blind repairs, 4 October 1927
Theophilus Philip Starke, a boot and shoe maker, told magistrates that two men called at his shop in Regent Street, Cambridge, and said they had come about the sun blind, which needed repair. They borrowed a ladder and appeared to do the work. He paid them 25 shillings but his suspicions were aroused by the way they “scuttled off”. The blind was examined by an expert who found practically nothing had been done to it
