Authorities recovered more than a full loot from a Middletown gang, including jewelry from George Harvey of Ardmore Drive. Cincinnati men Fred Om 39 and Floyd Bruner 48 were jailed on receiving stolen property charges after a search with Detective John Fitzgerald and Sheriff Gerald Couden. The haul included diamond rings, a brace, a gold chain, a television, an accordion and a rifle. Bruner’s mother flushed items down a commode during initial questioning.
