Robbery at Henry Sandstrom drug store linked to city thefts
Henry Sandstrom’s Third avenue drug store was robbed between 9 30 and 11 o clock. Burglars rifled two money drawers and the cigar case, taking about $30 from cash drawers and $9 in pennies. They forced entry by a rear window and later cracked the lock with leverage. Investigators note a pattern with Woodman picnic crowds and warn residents to guard homes as thieves roam the city.
