Police Trap in Hensall

A police trap laid last Tues-

failed last week when the ban
dits didn’t arrive. Provincial po
lice officers from many Huron
and Perth County towns
tinned to stand guard on
bank during business hours
the lattei- part of the week.
The London IFree Press'came
through with the story ‘in Fri
day's edition. Police Inspector
Alex Craig, of Forest, denied
the story and said his men were
in Hensall to check the new pro
vincial police radio hook - up.
Bank officials, however, told the
Free Press that Inspector Craig
had warned W. B. Cross of the
possibility of a hold-up.
The paper stated:
"A road map found last Mon
day near Durham with the Hen-
aall district circled and writing
in French indicating plans to
rob the bank had been made,
threw this quiet Huron County
town, into a furore of tense ex
pectation which has mounted
steadily since officers first ar
rived here Tuesday morning. a
"Led by Inspector Alex Craik
in charge of the Mount Forest
district of the provincial police,
eight officers, some in plain
clothes from Toronto, descended
on the bank Tuesday morning
and began a guard which has
lasted throughout business hours
•ever since.”
Rumours connected the map
with escaped convict Mickey
MacDonald and his gang.
"Windsor postal officials, it
was reported, became suspicious
of a large parcel addressed to
the former home of a well-
•known criminal and launched an
investigation. It was learned the
parcel contained a high-powered
automatic weapon and came
from Montreal.
"The sender was located in
Montreal and placed under sur
veillance. It is believed some
thing happened to tip off the
sender and he, along with three
other menvj;i£d in a car bearing
Quebec and United States licence
plates.
"Trail of the four men was
picked up in Ontario and the
men were traced to the Durham
district. While
ing watched in

papers wa.s a road map.
"Clearly outlined on the map,
it was reported, was the the
Hensall area. French words,
translated by police, indicated
plans had been made to rob
Bank of Montreal there and
spectoi’ Craik set his men in
tion.
"Although it could be neither
confirmed nor denied ~ it was
learned a large amount" of mo
ney, reportedly in excess of $30
,000 was lying in the teller’s
cage when police arrived. Far
mers in the district, it was ex
plained, had been receiving
cheques for their bean crops
and this was given as the sea
son for the large amount of mo
ney in the bank.”
Hensall citizens were in a
state of excitement when the ru
mor leaked out. Bank employees
were working under pressure
and tension, and cautiously
watched strangers who entered

ousyly axd took no chances.
