Two Charged With Robbery of Wadesville Post Office
Albert B. Curtis and Minghini of Clarke County faced a preliminary hearing before U S Commissioner Philip Williams on two counts of breaking into and stealing from the Wadesville post office last February. They were held for the federal grand jury in Harrisonburg. Curtis posted bond, Minghini could not, and was jailed. Authorities say Curtis obtained a post office safe key by wax impression and used a tin box to fashion a replica to access the safe. Minghini is said to have accompanied Curtis on at least the last entry but claims he did not know of any robbery. The pair also faced charges for stealing items from the adjacent store. The duo was captured in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. The post office was robbed February 15 and February 27, with $89 total cash taken.
