ARRESTS MADE IN
BRUCE ROBBER1:ES
Three . youths from Toronto were
lodged in County jail ,at •Walkerton
late Tuesday afternoon: The trio are
alleged to have broken into the *in-
cardine creamery .last week.
We understand ,,they ,will face sone
fourteen siniliar charges, and it: may
be that their arrest- will solve a crime
wave that has existed th'rough,out
Bruce County for many months, fea-
tured' by creamery break-ins.
The three suspects were brought
to Walkerton by Pr'ovinci'al Officer
McCievis and Constable R. C. Mac-
Kenzie •of Kincardine. - ,
According to the Kineardine News
last week's robbery of the Kincardine
Creamery was Carried out by five men
who forded a wihdow to enter the
building, and loading the 400 -pound
safe into their ear sped'away....
In a secluded section • of the district
they forced open the safe,- securing
cash to the amount of about $450 and
ch
ecks of no value ue to them,
amount-
ing
ingto $1500-
The break-in' was discovered by
workmen coming on duty at 2 a.m.,
and a general alarm was spread to
police : throughout the district-+
Early that morning police in
Brampton tried • to halt a car travell-
ing at an estimated speed of 80 miles
an hour. Five shots were fired as the
car failed' to slow` down_ Later an
abandoned car was dlscovered near
Toronto that bore 5 bullet .marks.
Police have' since been working on
the case, with the resulting arrests
