Two robberies, perpetrated Friday night, caused losses running into several hundred dollars to business men of Durham county. “Doc” Brown’s pressing club in East Durham and the Holloman general store in the Bragtown section were both burglarized late Friday evening, according to county officials.
In the haul made at the East Durham pressing club several suits of clothes, ladies’ dresses, and wraps, of a total estimated value in excess of $200 were taken, according to the report made to sheriff’s office.
The Holloman store was robbed of tobacco, and other merchandise of considerable value. Deputies Saturday were working on the case, but to date no clues have been obtained.
