Bank Robbery at Troy Bank Prompts Expert Theft Claim
A spectacular early Saturday morning blast at the Troy Exchange Bank left the vault damaged and cash scattered.

Bank officials, insurers, and local staff moved to restore business while detectives pursue leads amid few public clues. An infant died and relatives remain ill as the community follows the unfolding case in The Weekly Call.
