Bandit Holds Up Corry Gas Station In Early Evening Robbery
A youthful robber, armed with an automatic pistol, held up the Hast Mayet Street filling station of Brown and Mead just before 9 pm. He escaped west on Main Street with about $60 from the cash register and the till, while police searched the area and alerted other cities. Police describe him as about 22, five feet five, wearing a dark overcoat, last seen boarding a westbound train to Erie. The case bears similarities to recent nearby robberies but no trace of the bandit has been found.
