Robbery hits Wilcox Grocery safe in nitro blast
A heavy nitro blast wrecked the Wilcox Grocery Store safe on East Main Street early Sunday, securing about 125 dollars in cash from the cash register while over 400 dollars in checks and notes were left untouched. Police linked the break to a possible Erie Railroad crew, with two suspects seen fleeing the rear of the store and a car parked on Pennsylvania Avenue. The blast drove a tin partition and opened a rear door, with tools found at the scene identified as Erie Railroad property. The incident occurred one day after a bombing near Toe Barone, raising questions about a coordinated effort. Police reported witnesses and clues, including a heavy explosion heard around 1 o'clock Sunday morning. The investigation continues with officers reviewing nearby security and entrance paths.
