Burglars Take Safe From City Cafeteria
Lawton police report an early morning burglary at the Old South cafeteria 114 South Fourth with a safe containing three days receipts stolen after entry through a side window. The 600 to 1,000 pound safe was rolled to the curb by two or more suspects who used no other disturbances in the building. Manager Ralph Durall and janitor Bert Halderbaum discovered the crime around 1:45 a.m., after a note left by staff earlier noted the time they departed. Authorities speculate a wheeled dolly or manual shifting to move the safe, and wheel marks indicate the safe did not rest fully on ground. No further items were disturbed.
