Burglar Cyclone Campbell Arrested After Stolen Goods Recovered
A man nicknamed Cyclone George Campbell was arrested at his Lake Erie avenue home after police recovered seven grips and suitcases stolen in a Saturday show window burglary at Munker's. Additional stolen suitings were found at a South Third Street location and Zimmerman's clothing store. Campbell, once a U S sailor, reportedly used an open window and cellar door to enter stores and had hidden camping gear in Zimmerman's cellar. He denied breaking into Zimmerman's, and an earlier South Third Street suspect case was dropped.
