Money Bags Under Test Boston Police Probe
Nine money bags found by state police in Andover were sent to labs to test their link to the $1.5 million Plymouth mail truck robbery. William F. White, chief postal inspector in New England, urged witnesses to report sightings of the Route 3 truck the night of the holdup. The probe faced criticism from Massachusetts State Police head Frank S. Giles who said the postal inspectors lead was a curveball. White denied any rift with state police and promised a meeting with Giles to resolve concerns.
