Explosion at Wing On's

The gang of blackmailers who were concerned in the "bomb" explosions at the New World some months ago may possibly have had a hand in a similar incident which has just taken place at Messrs. Wing On's store. A scare was caused by the explosion of a bomb in the roof garden, but no injuries were inflicted.

The money was of course not paid, and the threat was carried out. fortunately without serious result.
