Burglary Victim's Son Caught Amid Loot At Luigi's
A 19 year old Burnet youth was arrested after a dawn break in at Luigi's Italian Village on Burnet Avenue. Acting Detective Hurley found about $2,497.50 in the suspect's home. The man, John Daniel Clement of 309 Burnet Avenue, had been seen leaving his home around 3:30 AM. The crime occurred between ten and twelve last night in a second story bedroom belonging to Albert Mancino, owner of the restaurant. Objects stolen included money from a table near a window. Mancino and his wife were downstairs. Mancino's sister was in the living room. Police say the five hour clash with Chinese forces near Korea did not relate to the burglary. The detective’s suspicions grew as Clement stood outside the restaurant. Clement and his brother Lawrence, 17, are named in later police notes.
