Two masked gunmen rob service station owner
Two young men wearing Army trousers held up Clyde Fineout at his service station south of Mexico around 8 P M taking 150 dollars. Police link the gunmen to a car theft of Alfred Saracene and Pianka Aiello as part of a broader string of robberies, with Saracene’s car later found in a ditch near Baldwinsville. Authorities pursue possible ties to other local holdups as road blocks yield no trace.
