Two States Linked by Theft Case Involving AWOL Soldier
Police tie into a cross state theft spree led by an AWOL soldier Harold W. Robinson of Spokane Washington and a fleeing companion. They burglarized a Markle purg cabin in Pennsylvania and stole a Frederick Maryland carload of items later found dumped. Police recovered items from several cars and traced a path back to Uniontown and Frederick with a wrecked car, a Bloomingdale used furniture sale, and possible federal charges for transporting a stolen vehicle. The investigation links Pennsylvania Maryland authorities in a widening theft case with multiple stolen items across counties.
