Smoke Bombs Used

Two gunner today held up a
big department store run by the
Harvard Cooperative Society
and escaped with from $4,000
to $50,O0O-th wing smoke
bombs to cover their getaway.
Working with split-second timing,
the gunner grabbed the cash just
as it was delivered from a bank by
special policemen in an armored car.
Panic broke out in the big store
in busy Harvard Square-just out
side the entrance to Harvard Yard
when cries of fire" startled about
200 customers as the fleeing bandits
threw their smoke bombs.
A third man waited at the wheel
of the getaway car.
Police who had delivered the cash
to handle the weekend business
were just leaving when one of the
gunmen jumped into the cashiers
cage, brandishing pistol. He
grabbed the bag containing the cash
The second bandit tossed a smoke
bomb at the entrance of the store
sending up a cloud of smoke.
The cries of fire started a rush
in the store among the customers
apd about rs employes-and some
body rang in the fire alarm.
Both bandits then made a dash
for a side door, turning to toss an
other smoke bomb to cover their
getaway.
