Little Progress In Fox Robbery Probe
Authorities investigating the $600 safe robbery at the Fox Theatre last Tuesday morning acknowledged little progress yesterday. Scant clues were left by the thieves who used an acetylene torch to bore through the safe door.

Thieves entered via a Safeway roof vent, carried a torch and oxygen tank, and evidence indicates multiple men were involved. Police doubt a lone thief could manage the heavy equipment.
