Bank Robbers Hit Colby Bank in Broad Daylight Heist
A trio of armed men wearing sports coats entered the Security State Bank in Colby Wisconsin shortly before 4 p.m. seized about 40 thousand dollars in cash, forced four employees and a customer into the vault, and escaped. Bank president Arthur Hemmy said the bank, not insured by federal agencies, would reopen the next day and that the cash loss was estimated at the 40 thousand mark. The robbers, all under 30, used a mix of masks and handkerchiefs and took smaller sums from teller cages before grabbing the vault cash. The incident occurred on the Clark Marathon county line near a town of about 1,000 residents.
