Three Young Bandits Rob Hammond Bank Branch
In Hammond Indiana three very young bandits wearing stockings over their heads held three customers and four employees at gunpoint and escaped with about 20900 dollars in currency from the Mercantile National Bank on Calumet Avenue. They forced people tostand against the wall while cash was taken from three tellers cages. An assistant vice president said one robber entered the manager's office and held him at gunpoint as others watched the lobby. Police set roadblocks and searched for a blue and white 1951 Mercury with Illinois plates. The robbers appeared to be in their early twenties and included a slender light haired man and a dark complexioned man. The holdup followed another Hammond bank robbery 13 days earlier.
