Detroit Cops Accused in $100,000 Bank Holdups Pair of officers admit role in multi‑year raids
Detroit Police Patrolmen James Burke and David Tapp resigned after confessing to a string of bank, savings and loan, and dime store robberies totaling about $100,000. FBI and police traced the crimes through disguises and a tip, marking Burke’s shift from small-store heists to larger bank jobs since 1964, with Tapp joining later. The two had long police records for exemplary work prior to the arrests.
