Bandits Grab Cop Truck but Goof in New York
In Brooklyn two masked robbers seized Panella, a Telborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority patrolman, as he picked up money from a truck. They drove 151 minutes via Atlantic Avenue and Clinton Street to Greenwood Cemetery where an alarm betrayed their plan. Panella hid in a tool shack as the thieves fled after the alarm sounded. A separate Conn. report notes two and a half year old Karen Majewski swallowed 50 aspirin tablets but recovered after hospital care.
