Bank Robber At Matador Takes $9043 In Cash
A grey suited gunman robbed a Matador bank, taking about 9043 dollars in mixed denominations after forcing tellers and customers to stay still for three minutes. A ranch owner, Mrs. Harrison, was abducted briefly but freed as officers chased a fast car. A helicopter and dogs joined the search, but no scent was found. The bank crowd described the bandit as polite and warned accomplices may have helped.
