Yeggmen Target Texas and Louisiana Banks
Postoffice inspector G. G. Thompson warns that twenty five postoffice robberies occurred in Texas and Louisiana in the first half of December as yeggmen from the North and East swooped in. The gangs, usually two or three men, prefer small towns and banks, using disguises and skilled safe-cracking to escape by night. Desperate when cornered, they plan routes and timing and often shoot to kill if blocked. The season runs December through March, then they retreat north for spring, while Texas bankers bolster detectives and bank staff are urged to note all strangers and heighten watch.
