Safecracker identity tied to Waterloo blacksmith drill claim
Joseph Hayes a Waterloo blacksmith said he crafted a quarter-inch diamond steel drill Friday for a man matching the suspect description given by police. Hayes placed the man at his Sixth Street shop near the Great Western depot, noting the drill was three and a half inches long with a rounded socket end. The $300 Sunday break in at the Luttan arc store on Water Street was the first in years, and Hayes asserts the suspect is a longtime Waterloo resident seen here often. The man reportedly wore a blue suit and felt hat, differing from the Courier description, but Hayes says other features align closely with the police profile.
