Bandits Made Headquarters In This City
A bank robbery at the People's Bank of Liberty branch in Frederick led to a dramatic chase through the city. State troopers and Frederick police pursued the suspects, a white man and two colored men, after the bandits fled toward All Saints and Market streets. The pursuit ended when the robbers crashed, a gun was wrestled from a man, and three bandits were taken for interrogation along with a homeowner who aided the fugitives. FBI involvement followed, with the final bank loss reported as about 14,900 dollars and an initial figure around 18 dollars misquoted.
