Mentor bank heist echoes 1968 Midway Mall robbery
Four men wearing Brink's uniforms robbed the Lake County National Bank in Mentor taking about $300,000. The FBI noted similarities to the 1968 Midway Mall theft, with imposters using the same setup as Brink's guards and the real firm later catching the ruse. Four suspects faced federal acquittal years earlier over the Mall case.
