Pine Cone Hunters Find $53000 Suspected Robbery Loot
Two men and a teenage boy found what police say may be the $53,000 stolen in a Trumbull bank robbery earlier in September while hunting pine cones in the North End. The cash, soggy and mildewed, was found under fallen branches about 30 feet from Merritt Parkway near Wolf Harbor Road. It was taken to Captain William Bull's office for sorting, with counting hindered by its condition. Police link the find to the bank heist and continue inquiries.
