Middletown Post Office Robbed in Nighttime Break-In
Robbers forced entry to the Middletown post office by breaking a window with a rock wrapped in a newspaper and ripped bars from a parcel window. They ransacked the building, opened mail, and left little cash estimated at three or four dollars, with no clear signs of theft from letters. The lobby at Memorial Hall was also breached in an attempt to steal from a candy machine. Sheriff Horace Alexander and State Trooper Bruce Brachey investigated, finding opened letters and no immediate clues. Postmaster Charles Nikirk reported discovering the break-in at 7 am, with Calvin Routzahn alerting authorities after seeing two men flee the lobby earlier.
